Roman remains?
The Marcia in Main Street is undergoing a makeover at the moment.
One theory as to the name of the pub is that it is named after Marcia, mistress and assassin of Emperor Commodus in second century Rome.
During the preparations the following illustrations have come to light on the walls of the extension of the current saloon bar.
Does anyone know when, by whom and what for these stylised roman-like drawings were made?
