 Described by Historic England as a world's first and dates to between 43 and 410 AD, with a spokesperson saying, this may be the first time the remains of such a complex has been seen in the whole of the Roman Empire anywhere in the world, never mind just in England, wait till you hear this. The remains of the exciting new discovery were found by a housing development company who had hoped to rejuvenate this area of North Yorkshire with a housing estate to meet future population booms. But the importance of this find may well cause a U-turn for bosses of the firm, with Historic England saying it's easily the most important discovery of its kind and this has prompted interest from around the globe as the world's press pick up on the new discovery. Historians believe they have identified a whole complex of buildings, it includes a tower shaped structure which is thought to have had rooms and a bath house leading from it. They are continuing to study the site but so far it's thought it would have been built by a wealthy landowner with high status in the Roman times and probably became a religious building later on or something to that effect after the particular person had passed or moved on in some sort of respect. Keith Emerick, Inspector of Ancient Monuments at Historic England said that, one of the descriptions we had was that it's something like a religious building that's almost like a gentleman's club, there's a bath house there as well, it's a really interesting hybrid building. Historic England states that these archaeological remains are a fantastic find and are far more than we ever dreamed of discovering, they are already giving us better knowledge and understanding of Roman era Britain. We are grateful to the landowners, the developers for their sensitive and professional approach to helping ensure the future conservation of this important historical site. A spokesperson for Historic England told the Guardian newspaper, it's not like a jigsaw where each new discovery adds to the picture, each new discovery actually gives a twist like a kaleidoscope and changes the picture entirely. This is a really exciting discovery and definitely of national importance. Not only is it a first for Britain but it could also be a first for a whole of the Roman Empire, adding that, I would say this is one of the most important discoveries in the past decade, easily. Historic England hopes the remains will be accessible to Republic in a not too distant future, but would you guys think about the discovery of a near 2,000 year old Roman era villa in North Yorkshire?
