Viggen Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 The earliest private chapel from Dark Age Britain has been unearthed in the foundations of a Roman "stately home". The fifth century font and baptistry were built into the ornate mosaic floor of an unusual double villa in Wiltshire not long after the Romans left Britain. Although there are older chapels, archaeologists say it is the earliest example of a landowner converting rooms inside his home for baptisms. more at the Telegraph, including a nice drawing of the villa.
