Lost Centuries of St Osyth (Full Episode) | S12 EP9 | Time Team (St Osyth, Essex)

St Osyth in Essex is the site of the death of a 7th-century saint, martyred by the Vikings and later a 12th-century Augustinian Priory. Recently, the town's creek's tides have revealed what could be a medieval wharf, which would indicate a busy settlement servicing the Priory, but it's nowhere near the current town centre. So where was the original settlement of St Osyth? The team have just three days to find out. Thanks for watching.
