Chedworth Roman Villa

Discovered by a gamekeeper in 1864, Chedworth is a fourth-century country estate with bath houses, hypocausts, and several mosaic floors of remarkable preservation. A new sheltering building protects the most fragile pavements.

The site sits in the National Trust's care and remains an active archaeological dig: the mosaic uncovered in 2017 is the first late-Roman mosaic found in Britain in fifty years and pushes the villa's occupation later than scholars previously believed.
