About Chedworth Roman Villa

Chedworth Roman Villa was rediscovered by the Victorians over 160 years ago. Leading the way in archaeology and conservation, Chedworth provides a unique insight into life during the Roman period in Britain.

A modern conservation building provides exceptional access to the extensive mosaic floors, hypocaust systems and bath house rooms. And a small museum houses a range of finds and artefacts from the villa.

  • Some of the finest in situ mosaics in Britain

    Chedworth Roman Villa has some of the most impressive in-situ Roman mosaics in Britain, as well as bath-house rooms and hypocaust systems (underfloor heating).

  • Roman-themed games, puzzles and crafts

    There are several Roman-themed activities to get stuck into during a visit. You can hone your strategic skills with a game of Nine Men's Morris, tackle our challenging mosaic-themed puzzles, test your knowledge of Roman numerals or create your own fun patterns with our magnetic mosaics.

  • Historical characters

    Chedworth Roman Villa has a whole cast of historical characters to entertain visitors during half terms and bank holiday weekends, so keep an eye on the website for details. Censorinus, the Villa owner, shares what it was like to live in one of the finest villas in the country while Dr Quintus takes you on a journey into surgery and medicine during Roman times. Sabina shows you what it was like looking after the Lady of the Villa and Thomas Margetts and James Farrer tell the famous discovery and excavation story from 1864.
