Bignor Roman Villa

GF diverted from the planned route to visit Bignor Roman Villa. This was discovered in the 1800's, and turned out to be a significant villa of some 77 buildings covering 4.5 acres.
Within the buildings some incredible mosaics were found and are on show (one is 24 metres long).
This picture was taken in a room where the hypocaust has been excavated. This is a small section of the much larger mosaic which is on display.
