History:
Great Witcombe Roman Villa was one of the largest Roman houses in Britain, and was part of a cluster of very wealthy villas in the Cotswolds area. A rich family lived here, together with their slaves and freedmen, for around 200 years, until the end of the Roman period in Britain.

Their luxurious villa, discovered in 1818 by farm workers, included an exceptional mosaic depicting many sea creatures.
