S02:E01 - The Bodies in the Wall

When the remains of 17 people – men, women and children – were discovered recently in a dry well shaft in Norwich city centre, the local community were alarmed and desperate for answers about who these people were and what happened to them. Thought to date from the early 1200s, the story surrounding these bones quickly develops into a suspected medieval murder case but the final reveal of the identity of these people is an even bigger shock to all involved and sheds new light on a period of history that until now we thought we fully understood.
