Places to see in ( Dorchester - UK )
Dorchester is the county town of Dorset, England. Dorchester is situated between Poole and Bridport on the A35 trunk route. A historic market town, Dorchester is on the banks of the River Frome to the south of the Dorset Downs and north of the South Dorset Ridgeway that separates the area from Weymouth, 7 miles (11 km) to the south.
The area around Dorchester was first settled in prehistoric times. The Romans established a garrison there after defeating the Durotriges tribe, calling the settlement that grew up nearby Durnovaria; they built an aqueduct to supply water and an amphitheatre on an ancient British earthwork. After the departure of the Romans, Dorchester diminished in significance, but during the medieval period became an important commercial and political centre. It was the site of the Bloody Assizes presided over by Judge Jeffreys after the Monmouth Rebellion, and later the trial of the Tolpuddle Martyrs.
The Brewery Square redevelopment project is taking place in phases, with other development projects planned. The town has a land-based college, Kingston Maurward College, the Thomas Hardye Upper School, three middle schools and thirteen first schools. The Dorset County Hospital offers an accident and emergency service, and the town is served by two railway stations. Through vehicular traffic is routed round the town by means of a bypass. The town has a football club and a rugby union club, several museums and the biannual Dorchester Festival. It is twinned with three towns in Europe. As well as having many listed buildings, a number of notable people have been associated with the town. It was for many years the home and inspiration of the author Thomas Hardy, whose novel The Mayor of Casterbridge uses a fictionalised version of Dorchester as its setting.
Dorchester town centre is sited about 55 to 80 metres (180 to 262 ft) above sea-level on gently sloping ground beside the south bank of the River Frome. Measured directly, it is about 7 miles (11 km) north of Weymouth, 18 miles (29 km) SSE of Yeovil in Somerset, and 20 miles (32 km) west of Poole.
The town has two railway stations. Dorchester South is on the South Western Main Line to Bournemouth, Southampton and London is operated by South West Trains; Dorchester West, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is on the Heart of Wessex Line, operated by GWR and connects with Yeovil, Bath and Bristol. As part of the regeneration at the Brewery Site in the town centre, Dorchester South railway station will become the first solar powered railway station in the UK.

The Romans in Dorchester with Chris Tripp
In this show we visit Dorchester in Dorset UK with Archaeologist Chris Tripp.
The area around what is now Dorchester has been inhabited for many thousands of years. When the Romans invaded South East England in 43AD they named the town Durnovaria.
In the 4th Century A.D. the Romans surrounded Dorchester with a stone wall of which a part can still now be seen. We begin our show here by the Borough Gardens. Chris then takes us to The Roman Town House built in the first decade of the 4th century.

The Romans and Ridgeway hillforts; Moel y Gaer Bodfari, Denbighshire, North Wales
The excavation of three nearby hillforts on the Oxfordshire Ridgeway, Uffington Castle, Segsbury Camp and Alfred’s Castle, has shown detailed evidence for their differing uses during the Iron Age but also major differences in the way they were utilised during the Romano-British period. This paper will explore these differences and try to explain why two of the sites show differing forms of continuity of use and the other seems to have been completely ignored.
Recent work at the small Welsh hillfort of Moel y Gaer Bodfari in the Clwydian hills will be briefly described including a range of geophysical techniques and LiDAR processing. Excavation has shown limited evidence for internal use of the site but detailed evidence for the construction and phasing of the stone built ramparts.

Places to see in ( Sedgefield - UK )
Sedgefield is a town and civil parish in County Durham, England. It has a population of 4,534, increasing to 5,211 at the 2011 census. A Roman 'ladder settlement' was discovered by Channel Four's Time Team programme in 2003, in fields just to the west of Sedgefield. It consisted of rows of crofts and workshops on either side of a north-south trackway, which could be securely dated by the many finds of Roman coins. St Edmund's church in Sedgefield is noted for its ornate 17th-century Cosin woodwork, unique to County Durham after the furnishings in Brancepeth were destroyed in a fire.
The 18th century saw the architect James Paine commissioned by John Burdon in 1754 to design and construct a Palladian estate at nearby Hardwick Hall. The building work was never completed as Burdon went bankrupt, but sufficient landscaping was done to form the basis of the now renovated Hardwick Hall Country Park.
The 19th-century South African politician and industrialist Henry Barrington was born in Sedgefield, and actions by his offspring indirectly led to the South African town of Sedgefield, Western Cape being named in honour of his birthplace.
In the 19th century, Sedgefield was a great hunting centre, dubbed 'the Melton of the North'. Hunter Ralph Lambton had his headquarters at Sedgefield: the humorous writer, Robert Smith Surtees, who lived at Hamsterley Hall, was a friend of his. On 23 February 1815, Lord Darlington wrote: 'Mr Ralph Lambton was out with some gentlemen from Sedgefield, and a most immense field.'
Sedgefield was also known in the area because of Winterton Hospital. This was an isolation hospital and an asylum. The site was like a village itself with its own fire station, bank and cricket team. Today, little trace is left of the hospital, apart from the church, which is now surrounded by the Winterton housing estate and the NETPark Science park. Sedgefield is twinned with Hamminkeln, Germany.
Ceddesfeld Hall was originally the rectory to the church, built after the first rectory burnt down; it is now occupied by the Sedgefield Community Association. A Latin inscription above the door states, By the generosity of Samuel and Shute Barrington, one an Admiral of the Fleet, the other Bishop of Durham, whose achievements are praised by everyone.

The Roman Babies of Hambleden
This is a reconstruction of the Roman site at Hambleden in Buckinghamshire, set on Google Earth. It shows the location of the 97 infants that were found buried on the site. The baby bones have recently been featured on BBC2's programme Digging For Britain. The bones that have been examined have been found to be of newborn infants. The site was excavated by Alfred Cocks in 1912. The bones were rediscovered in boxes by Jill Eyers of Chiltern Archaeology in 2008 with the help of Brett Thorn, Bucks County Museum. Some of the bones have been examined by Simon Mays and the infants have been found to have died around the time of birth. Archaeologists are trying to understand the cause of death.

The Roman Babies of Hambleden app is now available from itunes. Fascinating details on the Hambleden baby burials, infanticide and Roman burial practises, by Jill Eyers, archaeologist of the project. Were they murdered and why?
Music: The March of the Priests, from Mozart's Magic Flute.
Why were so many babies dying at birth? There are several lines of enquiry. It is entirely feasible that this was a small brothel. The site is precisely on the part of the river un-navigable during the summer months and a track leads from here towards Henley and the Fairmile - a Roman road to Dorchester where there was an army based in the early Roman period. This could have been a busy route for goods and people cutting the corner off this section of river. However, it is entirely plausible that there are other interpretations such as ritual or religious killings or a birthing centre. What is for sure, is that we will have more on this story when all the finds have been examined and interpreted.

2019 CHANNEL TRAILER & FINDS PREVIEW - HOPEUS MAXIMUS - METAL DETECTING UK
Research, Detect and Recover. Metal detecting in the UK.
I'm a keen Metal Detectorist based in Dorchester, Dorset, England.
I create metal detecting videos of the finds I recover (mainly on LIVE DIGS) with my trusty XP Deus metal detector. My discoveries include treasure finds, Celtic staters, Roman coins, Hammered silver coins, Gold coins, and many other Medieval coins and artefacts too numerous to mention.
My videos also include a little information on the items that viewers find informative.
A metal detectorist may be known as a treasure hunter but I class myself as a keen metal detectorist searching for beautiful buried coins and artefacts, so a valuable find is merely a bonus as I see it.
We are on this earth for a very short time and are merely custodians of all that we own for that brief time we are alive.
Sit back in comfort and enjoy the journey as you see me detect and recover beautiful coins and artefacts before your very eyes.
Hopeus Maximus.
Metal Detecting in the UK at its best.
