A regular five yearly quinquennial inspection and report on the historic fabric of these nineteenth century Mortuary Chapels at Keynsham Cemetery. These two Chapels were built in 1877-8 by Charles Edward Davis, The Architect who worked on the nineteenth century redevelopment of the Roman Baths in Bath. The Chapels here are built over the substantial remains of a large Roman Vill complex. Archaeologists believe that this villa may have been the home a high ranking retired-army officer or civil servant, and it had over 30 rooms, hypocaust heated floors, and numerous elaborate and expensive mosaics. The nineteenth century Chapels suffer from structural movement caused in part by the disturbed roman remains beneath. We provided advice on the extent and methods of repair to the structure whilst avoiding any disturbance to the Roman Villa beneath.
