In this episode, Time Team descend upon Hunstrete in Somerset in search of a lost grand mansion, once belonging to the Popham family.

In our exclusive commentary, Dani Wootton is joined by historian Professor Elaine Chalus, who was present at the dig. Prof Chalus explores the documentary evidence and family tree of the Pophams, while also shedding light on the 'Georgians' and some of the key developments of the age. She explains more about the role of women in Britain during the 'Long Eighteenth Century'.
