Newhaven's Roman Villa

People are always surprised when they find out there was a Roman Villa in Newhaven and it wasn’t until the town was redeveloped to make way for the one-way system that its full extent was discovered.

The story of Newhaven’s Roman Villa is told by Dr Jenny Flood. Jenny is a long-time resident of Newhaven and has worked on a variety of heritage projects highlighting Newhaven’s important and fascinating history.

Jenny is a trustee of Newhaven Historical Society, which runs Newhaven Museum. For more details please go to www.newhavenhistoricalsociety.org.uk or follow the museum on www.facebook.com/MuseuminNewhaven .
