Chedworth Roman Villa and its collection

Chedworth Roman Villa
Source

The remains of one of the largest Roman villas in Britain provide an insight into the period. The site was discovered in 1864 by a local gamekeeper and subsequently excavated. Over a mile of walls survive along with mosaics, two bathhouses, hypocausts, a water shrine and latrine. Visitors to the museum will discover artefacts from the villa, and an audio-visual presentation brings history to life. There are also Living History events amid the wooded combe surroundings in the heart of the Cotswolds.
