Description
The repositioned Roman remains in the Roman Gardens in Chester City are a collection of antiquarian elements including parts of hypocausts, columns, and Roman carved stones, such as pieces of capitals and cornices. Dating from the 1st to the 4th century, this collection was assembled on the initiative of Charles Greenwood, the City Engineer, in the mid-20th century. The items were discovered during excavations for various 20th-century developments. They are arranged on a lawn, with the hypocaust pillars featuring an outer wall and flue-arch to demonstrate how the system operated.
