Kings Weston Roman Villa is now closed for the winter and will reopen in Spring 2025. 🌿
We’ve had an amazing year with 5 open days, tours, 12 school sessions, and Young Archaeologists Club events.
Thanks for helping us share Bristol’s Roman heritage! 🏛️

@YAC_CBA Of course you can! Many old archaeological magazines were lovingly chopped up for this activity 😀

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@KYPBristol @bristolmuseum That's what you think! All the best medieval jugs have at least 13 handles...

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@DorisSkull @WarmleyWindmill Oh you love a slag brick.....

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@Boyle123G The objects kind of are though, even if the display isnt. Just saying...

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@J_JuliaCarver @bristolmuseum @YAC_CBA @archaeologyuk I mainly ate the jelly baby layer!

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@bristolfemuse @sallyosborn @earthwormsoc @mrraybarnett @BlaiseMuseum @BlaiseGarden I've even bought jelly worms for your display...

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@Donal_Lucey @bristolmuseum Awwww, thanks Donal! Excited to work with you and the local societies on lots of the outreach. Also very up for a Minecraft version of Kings Weston Roman Villa!

@bristolarchives @AlisonBevanRWA @RWABristol @brunelsbridge @BlaiseMuseum I was careful not to say 'stuff' - you don't like it when I ask to see the stuff without telling you what the ref is!

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@AlisonBevanRWA @RWABristol @brunelsbridge @BlaiseMuseum @bristolarchives Buried in henbury church along with his wife, Louisa.

[Kateiles @Kateiles5]

@AlisonBevanRWA @RWABristol @brunelsbridge Yes, we do! He lived @BlaiseMuseum, was an artist, a biographer, a collector and was involved in most of the cultural and religious organisations in the city. @bristolarchives have load of his letters and diaries too. Happy to chat!

To the Cotswolds! 18th century starscapers like Brown & Repton famously bred these small sheep with the markings of a cow, to aid a forced perspective in the fields of estates with less land*.

@Boyle123G @bristolmuseum Don't drive like that please.
