Показать описание
Tony and the team descend on the sleepy village of Wicken on the edge of the New Town to unravel its complex history and adjudicate in a fiercely fought local contest. Although in theory, it's one village now, Wicken was formed when two villages merged over 400 years ago. It looks like there's a clear dividing line and the residents have asked the team to discover which is the older of the two.
