This is the best summary I could come up with:


A couple scrubbing their toilet discovered a trapdoor concealing what could be a medieval relic.Tracy and Rory Vorster, from Lincoln, made the discovery on Sunday.When they removed the wooden panel, it revealed a large slab of stone featuring a carving of the Lincoln Imp.The Civic Trust said it thought the opening could be part of an "elaborate drain" dating from the mid to late 14th Century.

Mr Vorster said: "I couldn’t believe it, I shouted up to my wife and said, ‘I’ve found a thing'.

"According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the couple moved in to their property earlier this year.They said the discovery is an example of why Lincoln is "amazing", adding they are "proud" of their house's history.Mrs Vorster said: "You look at the outside of the house and that is historical enough but to now find something inside is amazing.

"Mr Vorster added: "The whole of the house has kind of a hollow walling, so we immediately thought there could be more.

"The previous occupant had been here for over 20 years, so surely they knew.

"The house is located in Vicar's Court, in Minster Yard, close to Lincoln Cathedral.The area was used by priests in the 13th Century.Follow BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on Facebook, external, X (formerly Twitter), external and Instagram, external.

About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Be kind and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. No pseudoscience/pseudoarchaeology.
