In 2012 archaeologists stumbled upon the remains of a major roman villa beneath where the community centre now stands. The site, which spanned almost ten-acres, was home to a high-status villa and industrial buildings. Containing large quantities of jewellery – including bronze brooches, babies bracelets, rings, and necklaces – soil samples from the dig suggested that metal working and textile dyeing are likely to have taken place there. It is believed that the site dates back as far as Neolithic times and was occupied throughout the Iron Age into the Roman period.
