Join us as we outline some of the amazing Roman buildings right beneath your feet in Verulamium Park!
Excavated in the 1930s and 1950s, we now focus on studying and protecting Britain's 3rd largest Roman city through remote sensing and conservation.
Speak to the Verulamium Museum Archaeology team about our plans to bring the city to life digitally and our ongoing effort to preserve the Scheduled Ancient Monument. We'll have some fun activities for all ages, including dressing up, and building Roman mosaics!
This is a unique opportunity to discover the Roman history in Verulamium Park - outlining Roman buildings means we can allow people to explore the Roman city while protecting any remains without any digging. The Park is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is protected by Heritage Watch through Historic England.
Verulamium Park is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
What is Heritage Crime?
Heritage crime is any offence which harms the value of heritage assets and their settings.
Some heritage assets are protected by specific legislation to prevent harm caused by damage or unlicensed alteration. It is against the law to use a metal detector or remove an object found with a metal detector on a scheduled monument without consent from Historic England
However, other crimes such as theft, criminal damage, arson and anti-social behaviour offences can also damage and harm heritage assets, and interfere with the public’s enjoyment and knowledge of their heritage.
