Quick Guide
See below grid for details |
Bignor Roman Villa
is close to the Roman road, Stane Street
linking Chichester with London, about 9 miles north-east of Chichester
(the Roman city of Noviomagus Regensium) and the nearby and much larger
Fishbourne Roman Palace.
Bignor is said to have
originally had 70 buildings over 4 acres. Today, the site museum preserves
some of the best mosaics in England.
The rooms on display today are mostly
located at the west end of the north wing, including a summer and winter (underfloor
heated) dining room. The bathhouse is to the south-east. The
Greek-key-patterned northern corridor extends for some 79ft (24m).

This page is a Quick Guide, the idea of Quick
Guides is to allow very basic information and linking forward information to be
added to the system rather than having to wait until a full location guide has
been developed. It should therefore be considered a development stage rather
than a finished objective. Once more information is known the objective is to
create either a Location or Featured Location page which has two grids and far
more information.
Please let us know any other information that we
can add to the Grid(s) or page and any errors that you discover. Before making a long trip to any location it is always
wise to double check the current information, websites like magazines may be
correct at the time the information is written, but things change and it is of
course impossible to double check all entries on a regular basis. If you have
any good photographs that you feel would improve the illustration of this page
then please let us have copies. In referring to this page it is helpful if you
quote both the Page Ref and Topic or Section references from the Grid below. To print the
planning grid select it then right click and print the selected area.
Please submit information on locations you discover so
that this system continues to grow.
