520 Chedworth is one of the few Roman villas in Britain whose
remains are open to the public, and this book seeks to
explain what these remains mean. The fourth century in
Britain was a ‘golden age’ and at the time the Cotswolds
were the richest area of Roman Britain. The wealthy owners
of a villa such as Chedworth felt themselves part of an
imperial Roman aristocracy. This is expressed at the villa
in the layout of the buildings, rooms for receiving guests
and for grand dining, the provision of baths, and the use
of mosaics. The villa would also have housed the wife,
family and household of the owner and been the centre of
an agricultural estate. In the nineteenth century
Chedworth was rediscovered, and part of the villa’s tale
is the way in which it was viewed by a nineteenth-century
Cotswold landowner, Lord Eldon, and then its current
owners, the National Trust.
