Built in the 14th century in North Lincolnshire, Thornton Abbey's spectacular gatehouse was designed to inspire awe and display wealth. Its stones reveal stories of powerful abbots, royal connections and a thriving trade that helped shape medieval Lincolnshire. Gill Sennett met English Heritage historian Dr. Alastair Oswald for a journey through the grand gateway into one of medieval England's richest abbeys. Produced and edited by Gill Sennett.
