Just beneath our feet lies a hidden world of ancient curiosities and undiscovered treasures but laying your hands on them and figuring out exactly what they are requires some extra special underfloor sleuthing to sort the rubbish from the rarities.

An archaeological adventure awaits in the story of the Dust Detectives as the team uncover early medieval music and learn about the lives of ordinary people that played an important but unwritten part of Oxburgh Hall's history.
