Julian Richards joins archaeologists in a farmer's field in Cheshire as they excavate a long-lost chapel and the undisturbed burials of medieval landowners.

In the early 1960s a Cheshire farmer discovered a human jaw bone in his fields. It remained a mysterious find until the secret beneath the field was revealed. Julian Richards joins archaeologists as they excavate a long-lost chapel and the undisturbed burials of medieval landowners. Using science, genealogy and some good old-fashioned detective work, the team are able to bring a Hampshire teacher face to face with his ancestors.
