Digging in the past: the arable farmer who's an archaeologist
Dr Nick Wilson, the arable farmer whose passion for the past has unearthed treasures on his Yorkshire farm.
Arable and archaeology are the two passions in Nick Wilson's life. He farms in the Vale of York but the discovery of a Roman burial site in one of his fields turbo-charged his interest in the past. That was nearly 10 years ago, since then he has studied for a PhD in archaeology and excavated acres of farmland. As well as the Roman tomb, he's unearthed Bronze-age cooking pots, quern stones for grinding corn, jewellery and a hob-nail boot from Roman times.
Produced and presented by Rebecca Rooney.
