The Only Earl is Essex - A Time Team Classic Returns!
🕑 Added 2025-03-16 09:00:08 +0000 UTCJoin us tonight at 7pm (GMT), as we bring you another iconic episode from Season 19!
Originally aired in 2012, The Only Earl is Essex takes us to the stunning grounds of a stately home in Essex, once owned by the illustrious De Vere family.
Tony and the team set out to uncover centuries of history, from a 12th-century priory to a later manor house, and explore the intriguing theory that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford—rumoured by some to be the true author of Shakespeare’s plays—could be buried on the estate.
With cutting-edge geophysics revealing 3D underground secrets and laser technology giving us incredible insights, this episode is packed with fascinating discoveries, including stained glass, encaustic tiles, and intricately carved alabaster. Plus, we’re joined by Anna Whitelock from the University of London to delve deeper into the site’s history.
And don't miss out on the chance to chat with Tim Taylor himself during the live premiere on YouTube!

Is it only me that thinks that the Edward deVere, 17th Earl looks like Alex Langlands?
