Caption

The British Association at Bath: remains of Vallis manor-house, 1864. 'Geologists and archaeologists together visited the Roman villa near Whatley, with its fine pavement; and Lord Cork, a descendant of the philosopher Robert Boyle, entertained 200 ladies and gentlemen with splendid hospitality at Marston, in that part of the memorial house or farm of Vallis which is supposed to have been the banqueting-hall...Roman and English coins have been found here. From the high ridges, on which in all probability the massive walls of a castle once stood, or in more recent times extended the terrace of the manorial house, the prospect over the valley is one of great beauty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
