The remains of a Medieval priest who died 700 years ago today have

:00:10.:00:15.

Archaeologists have been analysing remains found at Thornton Abbey.

:00:16.:00:21.

The priest's gravestone was found near the altar of the fourteenth

:00:22.:00:24.

century monastery hospital, and it even revealed his name,

:00:25.:00:28.

A 14th century monastery in rural Lincolnshire with hidden secrets.

:00:29.:00:38.

For the last six years archaeologists from the University

:00:39.:00:41.

of Sheffield have been slowly unveiling its past.

:00:42.:00:45.

Most recently the remains of a Medieval priest.

:00:46.:00:49.

As archaeologists, we find skeletal remains quite often,

:00:50.:00:58.

but to actually find someone whose name you know and to know the date

:00:59.:01:01.

of when they died and their position within society is very rare.

:01:02.:01:06.

This place was built in 1193 and quickly became one

:01:07.:01:09.

of the richest religious houses in England.

:01:10.:01:12.

But that does not mean that Richard's life was easy.

:01:13.:01:15.

He lived in a time which was known as the Great Famine,

:01:16.:01:18.

and evidence from his skeleton suggests he had anything

:01:19.:01:20.

A slight dent in his skull shows he suffered violent trauma,

:01:21.:01:26.

and a close look at his teeth reveal a period of stress or malnutrition.

:01:27.:01:31.

He was around 35 years old when he died.

:01:32.:01:34.

It's important because it gives us a little snapshot of the past

:01:35.:01:37.

As archaeologists, the past is often nameless and faceless.

:01:38.:01:42.

Here we can look at an individual, a named individual, we can find

:01:43.:01:46.

out about their lives, and it kind of puts a bit of a

:01:47.:01:49.

human face on a century that is, you know, a long time ago.

:01:50.:01:54.

This find is part of a bigger project.

:01:55.:01:56.

Last year 48 skeletons, many of them children,

:01:57.:01:58.

When the research is complete, Richard's remains will be laid

:01:59.:02:04.

to rest at a church in Barton-on-Humber.

:02:05.:02:13.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after another man

:02:14.:02:16.

was found with serious injuries outside a bar in Driffield.

:02:17.:02:19.

Police were called to Market Walk by ambulance staff early this morning.

:02:20.:02:23.

The 24-year-old victim was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary

:02:24.:02:27.

with head injuries, which aren't life-threatening.

:02:28.:02:29.

Police are questioning a 39-year-old man.

:02:30.:02:34.

British Steel in Scunthorpe are taking on more staff to create

:02:35.:02:37.

20 new trainees are starting at the plant in conjunction

:02:38.:02:42.

with North Lindsey College who will help them complete

:02:43.:02:45.

The company recently announced that it had ended 2016 in profit

:02:46.:02:51.

and had taken on more than 350 new employees

:02:52.:02:54.

Bikers have delivered Easter chocolate to children

:02:55.:03:01.

in a North Lincolnshire hospital for the ninth year in a row.

:03:02.:03:04.

140 members of the Scunny Bikers rode together to Scunthorpe General.

:03:05.:03:08.

They unloaded a cargo of chocolate eggs and toys donated

:03:09.:03:12.

They'll be handed out to patients on the children's ward.

:03:13.:03:18.

I'm just absolutely amazed with today's turnout, 140 bikes,

:03:19.:03:21.

a massive van full of toys, lots of local businesses

:03:22.:03:25.

It brightens up the children's days, and the families, really.

:03:26.:03:30.

Obviously, being in hospital is very stressful at the best of times,

:03:31.:03:33.

so having all of these donated to the ward is just fantastic.

:03:34.:03:38.

In football, Scunthorpe United have secured a place

:03:39.:03:41.

They beat Chesterfield 3-1 at Glanford Park.

:03:42.:03:46.

An own goal got them started, before Ivan Toney scored twice.

:03:47.:03:51.

In League Two, Grimsby Town lost 2-1 at Cheltenham.

:03:52.:03:54.

James Berrett scored for the Mariners after they fell

:03:55.:03:57.

behind but Gavin Gunning was sent off to end their comeback hopes.

:03:58.:04:03.

In the National League, Lincoln City went to Gateshead today

:04:04.:04:06.

with hopes of securing their place in the Football League next season.

:04:07.:04:10.

Our Sports Reporter Simon Clark was there to see if they could do it.

:04:11.:04:15.

Well, here at Gateshead, we saw an extraordinary end

:04:16.:04:18.

to what was a fairly rotten football game, and it puts Lincoln City

:04:19.:04:22.

within one victory of a return to the Football League.

:04:23.:04:28.

Did not get off to the best of starts, this challenge

:04:29.:04:31.

from Sean Raggett resulted in a penalty kick to the home side,

:04:32.:04:34.

Gateshead, which was coolly slotted away.

:04:35.:04:37.

Lincoln City then huffed and puffed and worked their way back

:04:38.:04:40.

into the game, but it wasn't until the 90th minute

:04:41.:04:43.

This time, it was Matt Rhead that stepped up, this time it was 1-1.

:04:44.:04:50.

And I'm sure everybody connected with Lincoln City

:04:51.:04:53.

would have settled for that, but minutes later, Nathan Arnold

:04:54.:04:57.

received this ball, turned, and that is as good a finish

:04:58.:05:00.

as you will see at this level of football.

:05:01.:05:03.

No doubt about it, Lincoln City winning, and the fans and manager

:05:04.:05:07.

Just attitude, they never die, they just keep going and going.

:05:08.:05:14.

It happens all the time, close to the end again, but we did it.

:05:15.:05:21.

Another three points, one step closer!

:05:22.:05:23.

None of us really believed it, we had sort of given up hope, but,

:05:24.:05:28.

I thought we showed huge determination, huge grit,

:05:29.:05:33.

a real resilience about us, and we never know when we are

:05:34.:05:37.

beaten, we play to the end, it is a never say die attitude,

:05:38.:05:40.

and it has been all of those things that allowed us to find a way today.

:05:41.:05:44.

So, Lincoln City will play Macclesfield on Saturday

:05:45.:05:46.

on their home ground knowing a victory will take them

:05:47.:05:48.

But at the other end of the table, we have to say farewell

:05:49.:05:54.

Their brave attempt at staying in the National League

:05:55.:05:58.

They lost at Barrow, but everybody that has followed

:05:59.:06:03.

North Ferriby this year know that they have been commendable in

:06:04.:06:07.

So, Ferriby are relegated, and Lincoln City are

:06:08.:06:12.

In today's rugby league, Hull FC returned to winning ways

:06:13.:06:20.

And in the Championship, Hull Kingston Rovers

:06:21.:06:25.

lost their first match of the season.

:06:26.:06:28.

A much-changed Robins team lost 14-6 at Toulouse.

:06:29.:06:35.

We do have showers in the forecast pushing down from the north.

:06:36.:06:43.

Some of those will be quite heavy for a time,

:06:44.:06:46.

but once they clear away, clear skies behind and colder air.

:06:47.:06:48.

These are the temperatures in towns and cities,

:06:49.:06:50.

but in the countryside, we could well see it getting down

:06:51.:06:54.

to around -2 to -4 C, so gardeners take note.

:06:55.:06:57.

Tuesday morning starts off on a dry, bright note, one or two showers

:06:58.:07:01.

pushing in from the coast, but essentially it

:07:02.:07:04.

The sunshine turning a little bit hazy by the time we get

:07:05.:07:08.

We are looking at temperatures getting to a high

:07:09.:07:12.

As we go through the rest of the week, then, it looks like it

:07:13.:07:17.

Temperatures creeping up by the time we get to Thursday.

:07:18.:07:26.

That's all from us, we're back at 10:20pm.

:07:27.:07:44.

Hopefully you managed to enjoy some good weather this

:07:45.:07:45.
