  • SSARG Visit to Lydney Park
    SSARG Visit to Lydney Park A bright day dawned for our visit to Lydney Park and Gardens, as we all met at Severn View Services to share cars and toll fees on our onward journey to Lydney Park in Gloucestershire. Two views of Lydney Park Lydney Park House is situated to the east of Camp Hill, a prehistoric promontory hillfort, within which was later built a Romano-British temple, a courtyard house, a bath house and a long narrow building at the southern edge of a promontory overlooking the flood plain of the river Severn. The site also contains evidence of Bronze Age metal working and may therefore have been an important site from the earliest period of metallurgy in the district. The grand house built in 1877 was built in the Tudor style, with rusticated stonework and a castellated tower in one corner. The house contains a small museum containing Roman coins and other Roman artefacts that have been found on site. In 1928 Sir Mortimer Wheeler and his wife Tessa, both eminent archaeologists, were commissioned to make a thorough examination of Lydney Park. Inspecting the display of finds in the museum Many small objects were found both through Mortimer Wheeler’s excavations in 1928-9 and from earlier diggings, including over 8000 coins, over 300 bracelets and pins, spoons, amulets and votive inscriptions. One was a small greenish coloured stone stamp used for marking semi-solid sticks of eye ointment (collyria) before they hardened. A record of a prescription from oculist Julius Jucundus cites three different ways of using it – either in drops, ie dissolved in water, or as an ointment mixed with honey, or as a tincture applied with a brush.
