Bancroft Roman Villa, Roman villa in Bancroft, Milton Keynes, England.
The principal rooms of the villa display geometric mosaic patterns and include a main bath-suite, with the foundations marked by modern stonework in Bancroft Park.
The villa evolved from a late 1st-century farmstead to a grand residence by the 3rd century, following reconstruction after a fire around 170 AD.
The excavated mosaic from the villa, now displayed at Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, demonstrates the Roman artistic techniques and architectural preferences.
The site features informational displays and outlined room layouts that allow visitors to understand the structure's original floor plan and daily functions.
An ornamental fish pond and formal garden were constructed in front of the villa, indicating the integration of recreational spaces within Roman residential architecture.
