The Naughty Nuns & Monks Of This Scandalous 13th-Century Monastery | Time Team | Chronicle

Time Team is invited to the Military Intelligence base at Chicksands to explore the site of a thirteenth-century unisex monastery. The site belonged to the Gilbertines, a British monastic order known for having nuns and monks living together. The team aims to uncover more about the monastery, searching for clues about the nuns’ Cloister and the monastic remains. They conduct geophysical surveys, excavate trenches, and find evidence of medieval structures, including a possible staircase and a hospital area.
