Episode 285 - Behind the Scenes of a Roman Villa

This week, we're on-site at North Leigh Roman Villa in Oxfordshire – one of the larger villas of Roman Britain, which once included 16 mosaic floors and 11 rooms with underfloor heating. As a major conservation project gets underway, we find out about who lived here, how the site was discovered and the important work taking place to protect it. Joining us are senior properties curator (west) Win Scutt, collections conservator (west) Wendy Richardson, and national project manager Zoe Stubbs.  For more information on North Leigh Roman Villa, go to: www.english-heritage.org.uk/north-leigh-roman-villa   Learn more about your ad choices.
