0:00:07 > 0:00:08Good evening.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12The remains of a Medieval priest who died 700 years ago today have
0:00:12 > 0:00:14been uncovered in Lincolnshire.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Archaeologists have been analysing remains found at Thornton Abbey.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The priest's gravestone was found near the altar of the 14th
0:00:21 > 0:00:24century monastery hospital, and it even revealed his name,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28as Matthew Bone reports.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Thornton Abbey.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36A 14th century monastery in rural Lincolnshire with hidden secrets.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38For the last six years archaeologists from the University
0:00:38 > 0:00:43of Sheffield have been slowly unveiling its past.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Most recently the remains of a Medieval priest.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50He died 700 years ago today.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51His name was Richard De Whisperton.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54As archaeologists, we find skeletal remains quite often,
0:00:54 > 0:00:59but to actually find someone whose name you know and to know the date
0:00:59 > 0:01:03of when they died and their position within society is very rare.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This place was built in 1193 and quickly became one
0:01:06 > 0:01:09of the richest religious houses in England.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12But that does not mean that Richard's life was easy.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15He lived in a time which was known as the Great Famine,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17and evidence from his skeleton suggests he had anything
0:01:17 > 0:01:19but an easy life.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23A slight dent in his skull shows he suffered violent trauma,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and a close look at his teeth reveal a period of stress or malnutrition.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31He was around 35 years old when he died.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's important because it gives us a little snapshot of the past
0:01:34 > 0:01:35we wouldn't ordinarily have.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39As archaeologists, the past is often nameless and faceless.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Here we can look at an individual, a named individual, we can find
0:01:42 > 0:01:45out about their lives, and it kind of puts a bit of a
0:01:45 > 0:01:50human face on a century that is, you know, a long time ago.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53This find is part of a bigger project.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Last year 48 skeletons, many of them children,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58were found at the same site.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01When the research is complete, Richard's remains will be laid
0:02:01 > 0:02:10to rest at a church in Barton-on-Humber.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after another man
0:02:13 > 0:02:16was found with serious injuries outside a bar in Driffield.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Police were called to Market Walk by ambulance staff early this morning.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22The 24-year-old victim was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary
0:02:22 > 0:02:25with head injuries, which aren't life-threatening.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Police are questioning a 39-year-old man.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32British Steel in Scunthorpe are taking on more staff to create
0:02:32 > 0:02:35the next generation of steelworkers.
0:02:35 > 0:02:3820 new trainees are starting at the plant in conjunction
0:02:38 > 0:02:41with North Lindsey College who will help them complete
0:02:41 > 0:02:43their official qualifications.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The company recently announced that it had ended 2016 in profit
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and had taken on more than 350 new employees
0:02:49 > 0:02:53since it was launched in June.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Work has begun to replace a number of timber groynes on the beach
0:02:56 > 0:02:59at Withernsea which have reached the end of their working lives.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01The wooden structures help sand to be collected
0:03:01 > 0:03:03on the beaches which then act as natural flood
0:03:03 > 0:03:05defences for the town.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09The work is due to be finished by the end of the summer.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Peatland areas near Goole could benefit from a new ?10 million
0:03:12 > 0:03:14grant scheme announced by the government.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17The money is being given to sites with the greatest potential
0:03:17 > 0:03:19for greenhouse gas reduction.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23The moorland in Thorne and Crowle is one of the most important peat
0:03:23 > 0:03:25vegetation areas in the country.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Wildlife trusts and charity projects will be able to bid
0:03:27 > 0:03:31for a portion of the grant.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Bikers have delivered Easter chocolate to children
0:03:33 > 0:03:36in a North Lincolnshire hospital for the ninth year in a row.
0:03:36 > 0:03:43140 members of the Scunny Bikers rode together to Scunthorpe General.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47They unloaded a cargo of chocolate eggs and toys donated
0:03:47 > 0:03:49by local supermarkets.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53They'll be handed out to patients on the children's ward.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I'm just absolutely amazed with today's turnout, 140 bikes,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59a massive van full of toys, lots of local businesses
0:03:59 > 0:04:01contributing as well.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It brightens up the children's days, and the families, really.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Obviously, being in hospital is very stressful at the best of times,
0:04:08 > 0:04:13so having all of these donated to the ward is just fantastic.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15In football, Lincoln City have taken another step
0:04:15 > 0:04:18towards the Football League with a win at Gateshead.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20The Imps fans celebrated after their team came
0:04:20 > 0:04:23from a goal down to win 2-1.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26They need just two more points from their last
0:04:26 > 0:04:29three games to confirm the National League title.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32They never die, they just keep going and going.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34We said 1-1 there, we'll settle for 1-1.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36In the end, 2-1, like Torquay!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40It happens all the time, close to the end again, but we did it!
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Another three points, one step closer!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It was just a shock, really.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47None of us really believed it, we had sort of given up hope, but,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49yeah, it was brilliant.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Today was the last day to see the Lego daffodils
0:04:51 > 0:04:52in Hull city centre.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The display of almost 2,000 plastic plants
0:04:55 > 0:04:59in King Edward Square is part of the City of Culture year.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04The flowers will be sold off tomorrow afternoon.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Time for the weather forecast.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Hello there, good evening.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Quite a cold night in store tonight.
0:05:11 > 0:05:11Quite a cold night in store tonight.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13We have some showers around at the moment,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16those showers gradually sinking southwards over the next few hours.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Some of them could be heavy for a time, but behind
0:05:18 > 0:05:19the showers, clear skies.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22It is under those clear skies that we are expecting
0:05:22 > 0:05:24temperatures to dip to two, three degrees in towns,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28but in sheltered rural spots, perhaps -2 or -3 Celsius.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30So, a chilly start to Tuesday morning, one or two showers along
0:05:30 > 0:05:33the coast first thing, but it is looking like a decent day.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Plenty of sunshine, the sunshine turning a bit hazy from the west
0:05:36 > 0:05:39as we head through the afternoon, and a top temperature
0:05:39 > 0:05:42around 10-11 degrees, feeling much like today.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45As we head through the rest of the week, there will be plenty
0:05:45 > 0:05:48of dry and fine weather in the forecast, staying quite
0:05:48 > 0:05:50cloudy from Wednesday.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56Highs of 14 degrees by the end of the week.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57That's
0:05:57 > 0:05:57That's all
0:05:57 > 0:05:57That's all from
0:05:57 > 0:05:57That's all from us,
0:05:57 > 0:05:57That's all from us, good
0:05:57 > 0:06:01That's all from us, good night.
