More about this scene
The village green, the King's Head and the parish church lie at the heart of present-day Lanchester. Roman Lanchester, or Longovicium, lies half a mile to the south-west; it was one of the principal forts along the road between York and Hadrian's Wall, and was built about the year 122. Though destroyed in 197, it was rebuilt in about 240, and remained in use until the end of the 4th century. Enclosing six acres, the fort was capable of accommodating 1000 troops.
