What Was Life Like In A Medieval Leper Colony? | Time Team | Chronicle
Winchester was once a thriving city and the capital of King Alfred in the 9th century. A leper hospital existed outside the city boundaries, housing outcasts afflicted with leprosy. Time Team, a group of archaeologists, has three days to locate the remains of the 12th-century leper hospital. Geophysics survey the site and find building remains and traces of a wall, indicating the presence of the hospital. Excavations uncover the chapel, cemetery, arms houses, and the potential graves of notable individuals, including John Ebden, the former Master of the leper hospital.
