Series 19 Episode 7: The Only Earl Is Essex

Property magnate Paul Whight is so keen to know everything he can about the history of his home that he's rashly invited Tony and the team in to do their worst. In the 12th century, the Earls of Oxford founded a grand priory somewhere on this site and centuries later they may well have built themselves a fine country house. Furthermore, one of the earls, who some believe wrote Shakespeare's plays, might even be buried here.
