2023-03-29 13:26:51 +0000 UTCNo, I noticed the same thing. Paused the video and read "Elizabeth Halston, Died (possibly April?) 6, (possibly a 1,, could sort of make out a 7?) 69 Aged 66" Though out loud to my husband "who's Elizabeth and why are they saying this is John's?" Also, if John isn't there, that covered thing might not be the bear pet? Although John could still be in one of the other coffins - so it's not out of the range of possibility

2023-03-27 17:30:31 +0000 UTCLove, love love the 3-part format! Question: Who is Elizabeth?? In the summary on Day 3 we focus on a name plate that reads "Elizabeth Halston, Died 6 ? ?69, Aged 66" but Gus refers to John Halston's nameplate. Was there no footage of John's plate, so the editor used that, or am I hallucinating? I've re-watched and zoomed in and I can't work out how even the most florid copperplate, at any angle could turn 'Elizabeth' into 'John' ๐ and I'd really love to know who she was - I mean, perhaps it was her whorl weight ๐ฅฐ

2023-03-27 06:18:27 +0000 UTCI watched all three episodes, twice actually and I'm not sure if they found the Preceptory or not? Help me out please.

2023-03-27 02:47:28 +0000 UTCThis's brilliant. I can't wait to see what further investigation of the crypt reveals. I know there was mention of doing photogrametry in the whole space, so I can't wait to see what comes of that! <3

2023-03-26 22:52:31 +0000 UTCWhat did they find to indicate that this actually was the site of the preceptory? The chapel is partly old enough, but someone says near the end that the preceptory would more likely have had a stone chapel. And none of the other "lumps and bumps" was identified as a medieval building.

2023-03-25 01:00:24 +0000 UTCThere has always been something great about the pub scenes, when everyone is talking and has had time to forget the cameras are there.
