:00:10. > :00:15.The remains of a Medieval priest who died 700 years ago today have

:00:16. > :00:21.Archaeologists have been analysing remains found at Thornton Abbey.

:00:22. > :00:24.The priest's gravestone was found near the altar of the fourteenth

:00:25. > :00:28.century monastery hospital, and it even revealed his name,

:00:29. > :00:38.A 14th century monastery in rural Lincolnshire with hidden secrets.

:00:39. > :00:41.For the last six years archaeologists from the University

:00:42. > :00:45.of Sheffield have been slowly unveiling its past.

:00:46. > :00:49.Most recently the remains of a Medieval priest.

:00:50. > :00:58.As archaeologists, we find skeletal remains quite often,

:00:59. > :01:01.but to actually find someone whose name you know and to know the date

:01:02. > :01:06.of when they died and their position within society is very rare.

:01:07. > :01:09.This place was built in 1193 and quickly became one

:01:10. > :01:12.of the richest religious houses in England.

:01:13. > :01:15.But that does not mean that Richard's life was easy.

:01:16. > :01:18.He lived in a time which was known as the Great Famine,

:01:19. > :01:20.and evidence from his skeleton suggests he had anything

:01:21. > :01:26.A slight dent in his skull shows he suffered violent trauma,

:01:27. > :01:31.and a close look at his teeth reveal a period of stress or malnutrition.

:01:32. > :01:34.He was around 35 years old when he died.

:01:35. > :01:37.It's important because it gives us a little snapshot of the past

:01:38. > :01:42.As archaeologists, the past is often nameless and faceless.

:01:43. > :01:46.Here we can look at an individual, a named individual, we can find

:01:47. > :01:49.out about their lives, and it kind of puts a bit of a

:01:50. > :01:54.human face on a century that is, you know, a long time ago.

:01:55. > :01:56.This find is part of a bigger project.

:01:57. > :01:58.Last year 48 skeletons, many of them children,

:01:59. > :02:04.When the research is complete, Richard's remains will be laid

:02:05. > :02:13.to rest at a church in Barton-on-Humber.

:02:14. > :02:16.A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after another man

:02:17. > :02:19.was found with serious injuries outside a bar in Driffield.

:02:20. > :02:23.Police were called to Market Walk by ambulance staff early this morning.

:02:24. > :02:27.The 24-year-old victim was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary

:02:28. > :02:29.with head injuries, which aren't life-threatening.

:02:35. > :02:37.British Steel in Scunthorpe are taking on more staff to create

:02:38. > :02:42.20 new trainees are starting at the plant in conjunction

:02:46. > :02:51.The company recently announced that it had ended 2016 in profit

:02:52. > :02:54.and had taken on more than 350 new employees

:02:55. > :03:01.Bikers have delivered Easter chocolate to children

:03:02. > :03:04.in a North Lincolnshire hospital for the ninth year in a row.

:03:05. > :03:08.140 members of the Scunny Bikers rode together to Scunthorpe General.

:03:09. > :03:12.They unloaded a cargo of chocolate eggs and toys donated

:03:13. > :03:18.They'll be handed out to patients on the children's ward.

:03:19. > :03:21.I'm just absolutely amazed with today's turnout, 140 bikes,

:03:22. > :03:25.a massive van full of toys, lots of local businesses

:03:26. > :03:30.It brightens up the children's days, and the families, really.

:03:31. > :03:33.Obviously, being in hospital is very stressful at the best of times,

:03:34. > :03:38.so having all of these donated to the ward is just fantastic.

:03:39. > :03:41.In football, Scunthorpe United have secured a place

:03:42. > :03:46.They beat Chesterfield 3-1 at Glanford Park.

:03:47. > :03:51.An own goal got them started, before Ivan Toney scored twice.

:03:52. > :03:54.In League Two, Grimsby Town lost 2-1 at Cheltenham.

:03:55. > :03:57.James Berrett scored for the Mariners after they fell

:04:04. > :04:06.In the National League, Lincoln City went to Gateshead today

:04:07. > :04:10.with hopes of securing their place in the Football League next season.

:04:11. > :04:15.Our Sports Reporter Simon Clark was there to see if they could do it.

:04:16. > :04:18.Well, here at Gateshead, we saw an extraordinary end

:04:19. > :04:22.to what was a fairly rotten football game, and it puts Lincoln City

:04:23. > :04:28.within one victory of a return to the Football League.

:04:29. > :04:31.Did not get off to the best of starts, this challenge

:04:32. > :04:34.from Sean Raggett resulted in a penalty kick to the home side,

:04:35. > :04:37.Gateshead, which was coolly slotted away.

:04:38. > :04:40.Lincoln City then huffed and puffed and worked their way back

:04:41. > :04:43.into the game, but it wasn't until the 90th minute

:04:44. > :04:50.This time, it was Matt Rhead that stepped up, this time it was 1-1.

:04:51. > :04:53.And I'm sure everybody connected with Lincoln City

:04:54. > :04:57.would have settled for that, but minutes later, Nathan Arnold

:04:58. > :05:00.received this ball, turned, and that is as good a finish

:05:01. > :05:03.as you will see at this level of football.

:05:04. > :05:07.No doubt about it, Lincoln City winning, and the fans and manager

:05:08. > :05:14.Just attitude, they never die, they just keep going and going.

:05:15. > :05:21.It happens all the time, close to the end again, but we did it.

:05:22. > :05:23.Another three points, one step closer!

:05:24. > :05:28.None of us really believed it, we had sort of given up hope, but,

:05:29. > :05:33.I thought we showed huge determination, huge grit,

:05:34. > :05:37.a real resilience about us, and we never know when we are

:05:38. > :05:40.beaten, we play to the end, it is a never say die attitude,

:05:41. > :05:44.and it has been all of those things that allowed us to find a way today.

:05:45. > :05:46.So, Lincoln City will play Macclesfield on Saturday

:05:47. > :05:48.on their home ground knowing a victory will take them

:05:49. > :05:54.But at the other end of the table, we have to say farewell

:05:55. > :05:58.Their brave attempt at staying in the National League

:05:59. > :06:03.They lost at Barrow, but everybody that has followed

:06:04. > :06:07.North Ferriby this year know that they have been commendable in

:06:08. > :06:12.So, Ferriby are relegated, and Lincoln City are

:06:13. > :06:20.In today's rugby league, Hull FC returned to winning ways

:06:21. > :06:25.And in the Championship, Hull Kingston Rovers

:06:26. > :06:28.lost their first match of the season.

:06:29. > :06:35.A much-changed Robins team lost 14-6 at Toulouse.

:06:36. > :06:43.We do have showers in the forecast pushing down from the north.

:06:44. > :06:46.Some of those will be quite heavy for a time,

:06:47. > :06:48.but once they clear away, clear skies behind and colder air.

:06:49. > :06:50.These are the temperatures in towns and cities,

:06:51. > :06:54.but in the countryside, we could well see it getting down

:06:55. > :06:57.to around -2 to -4 C, so gardeners take note.

:06:58. > :07:01.Tuesday morning starts off on a dry, bright note, one or two showers

:07:02. > :07:04.pushing in from the coast, but essentially it

:07:05. > :07:08.The sunshine turning a little bit hazy by the time we get

:07:09. > :07:12.We are looking at temperatures getting to a high
