Tours of Dorchester's Roman Town House have restarted for summer.

Discovered in the 1930s, one of the best examples of a Roman Town House in England is in the town.

Following the extensive refurbishment of the covered Roman Town House structure and grounds, Dorset Museum is proud to have partnered with Dorset Council to offer the opportunity of guided tours of the covered structure and grounds.

The museum's trained guides will take you through a brief history of the site and the precious artefacts recovered and now on display at Dorset Museum. Following this, you will be taken to the site of the Roman Town House and allowed to enter the covered building, which hosts a number of really special features including some of the original wall paint and mosaics and a beautifully preserved example of an underfloor heating system.

Tours will run from 10.30am to 12noon on:

• April 20
• May 7
• May 21
• June 11
• June 25
• July 9

Further dates to be confirmed.
