On my recent visit to Masham I had the opportunity to
photograph a Roman mosaic that I had wanted to see for a long time, but for one
reason or another never had. The pavement fragment from a villa and bath house complex
is located in the church in the nearby village of Well.
The corner fragment of mosaic that is preserved features
various classic designs of both guilloche and latchkey for the border and a
central geometric design that imitates cubes in 3d. It dates presumably from
the third or perhaps fourth century AD.
