    Registered Charity No: 272098 ISSN 0585-9980 SURREY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY CASTLE ARCH, GUILDFORD GU1 3SX Tel/Fax: 01483 532454 Bulletin N u m b e r 3 1 5 N o v e m b e r 1 9 9 7 TITSEY VILLA HAS A TWIN Resistivity Survey with main features numbered NOTES Fresh Findings at Roman Titsey EMDavies Summary A programme of geophysical survey and keyhole excavations around the site of the Roman villa at Titsey in 1996 identified a second 'twin' villa and two other buildings; one certainly Roman; the other most probably so. The survey also identified a considerable area of contemporary courtyard, and some other significant features. Introduction Since G Leverson-Gower's 1864-5 excavations of the Roman villa on his estate, the site has remained undisturbed, and was largely earthed over as a conservation measure a decade or more ago. It is clear from a contemporary sketch that his excavations had been confined to the interior of the villa (Leveson-Gower 1869), which has since been classified as being of winged corridor type, perhaps with a hall-type inner structure (Smith 1978, 181). Coin^ndjjottery evidence suggests 3rd century occupation, possibly extending intoltie iS^nd and early 4th century as well (Bird 1987, 170-1, 175). The Titsey estate, in which the villa is sited, has a long and interesting history. Titsey Manor has Saxon and Norman antecedents, and was purchased by John Gresham (later Sir John, Lord Mayor of London) in 1534. So it remained until the early 19th century when it passed, through marriage, into the Leveson-Gower family.

BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Realising BOA aims will contribute to UK commitments to halt biodiversity declines, and their recognition directly meets current National Planning Policy Framework policy to plan strategically for the enhancement of the natural environment; to be achieved by providing net gains for biodiversity and establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 170).
