Kenton Hall is steeped in Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval history, but there are more recent stories waiting to be uncovered too!

Among the finds from this week’s episode was this rather lovely stamped eyelet, bearing the name of J. Rands & Jeckell of Ipswich.

The firm produced everything from sacks and horse clothing to tents and flags, even supplying the farms of Queen Victoria!

As you’ll hear, we got pretty excited about this one.

Nothing new there then…

Episode 51. Ashes in the Moat - OUT NOW!

We’re back at Kenton Hall, a glorious Tudor-fronted manor house with centuries of secrets hidden in the surrounding landscape.

Hundreds of Roman pottery fragments suggest this was once the heart of a thriving Roman community.

Then, in 1919, disaster struck when fire destroyed the hall, leaving only its grand Tudor facade standing.

But after an extraordinary summer, the moat has dropped to a once-in-a-generation low, offering a rare chance to unearth some of those secrets.

And we simply couldn’t say no!

Two things you might not know about our co-host .historyhunter…

1. He’s very proud of his moustache.
2. He bloody loves Scampi Fries.

He also discovered two Roman hoards, but that’s clearly not as important 🥸😂

Our 50th episode is OUT NOW! ⚔️

And for this milestone, we’re investigating one of Suffolk’s bloodiest mysteries…

Could the mysterious ‘Blood Landscape’ near Debenham be the site of King Edmund’s final battle with the Vikings in 869?

We went to investigate, and the clues we uncovered were beyond anything we could have imagined…

The Suffolk soil is full of secrets - and this week’s episode certainly proved that.

We went in search of a possible medieval moat and came away with gold, silver, bronze - and one little object that left us scratching our heads.

We’ve got our suspicions, but what do you reckon?
