Ten years in the planning and with contributions by 27 expert
authors, this is a comprehensive record of archaeological research
at Chedworth Roman Villa, Gloucestershire (now in the care of the
National Trust), from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries.
The volume brings together a large body of new, contextualised
information about the villa including: a history of work at
Chedworth from the 1860s to the present; a detailed fabric survey
of the extant remains; description and analysis of the Roman
structural remains; description and analysis of the decorative
elements (e.g. mosaics, sculpture) and finds (e.g. coins, Roman
artefacts, glass, pottery and bones); discussion of the development
of the villa and its place in the landscape; the consolidation and
display of the villa from its discovery in 1864 to the present. The
volume is well illustrated with drawings and photos ranging in date
from the late 1800s to the present. The volume will appeal to all
with an interest in Roman Britain, and Roman villas in particular,
and in the antiquarians who first discovered and investigated them.
