Situated in Milton Keynes' Loughton Valley Linear Park, Bancroft Roman Villa is one of the most extensively excavated Roman villas in Britain. Discovered in 1971, it took 15 years of excavation to reveal the full site we see today.
It was one of eight Roman farming estates that have been discovered in the wider Milton Keynes area. The villa itself would have had an underfloor heating system complete with an open limestone hearth, a bath suite, a fish pond, walled gardens and a summer house.

The Bancroft Roman Villa was discovered during MK Development Corporation building construction in 1971 and was excavated throughout the next 15 years. A mosaic floor excavated from the Villa, was mounted on a wall overlooking Queens’ Court in Central Milton Keynes in September 1977.
Bancroft was one of eight large farming estates created 2,000 years ago in the city area, each centred around a Roman Villa – in Milton Keynes Village, Stantonbury, Wymbush, Walton, Dovecote Farm at Shenley Brook End, Bletchley’s Sherwood Drive and Holne Chase.

You can wander between the remainders of the walls, which allows to get a good impression of the original layout and size of the rooms.
