Hear about the finding of the Villa in 1877, the 1920’s excavations and the recent discoveries including a significant find this year of a previously unknown part of the Villa.

Keynsham Cemetery is a peaceful Victorian burial ground and the location of a major Roman archaeological site. The accepted story is that most of the Villa has been lost with burials and there is nothing more to learn of this important site. Be prepared to think differently after you hear about the finding of the Villa in 1877, the 1920’s excavations and the recent discoveries including a significant find this year of a previously unknown part of the Villa.
Listen to talks delivered by Zofia_Matyjaszkiewicz from Bath and North East Somerset Heritage Services, Harry Whittaker from Bath Conservation Architects, Shaun Wilson from Bath & Counties Archaeology Society and Alan Jenner from Keynsham Town Council.
