I'll think of something later: From Venta Belgarum to cathedral city

, Is selectively and handsomely displayed in one of the best small museums I've ever visited. Housed in a flinty early Edwardian pastiche of a Tudor house - good enough to be a Grade 2 listed building - the exhibits take you from the treasures of Roman Britain's fifth largest town on the top floor via finds from the heyday of Wessex's capital through to a select number of transported shops at ground level. It's school-friendly without the aesthetic effect being ruined, as I thought it often was by the interactive stuff and the message boards in Leeds' Royal Armouries , and seems to have had a simple new refurbishment. The mosaic floor comes from a villa at nearby Sparsholt. Very well, so the floral and swastika design doesn't have the thrill of the pictorial mosaics at Bignor or Fishbourne, let alone the wonders of Volubilis , but it sits handsomely at the centre of the Roman display. There's a fun photo showing its arrival outside the museum in 1969, having been lifted from the villa's central room in 28 numbered sections. It's been proven beyond doubt that it's the real thing, used to summon folk to assembly. A replica is still used each May at the annual mayor-making ceremony, but the original sounds very well indeed. As Tim Norris of the museum staff has proved in a recording featuing its four true notes (B below middle C, B an octave above, F# above that, and a top B above that). Helpfully, you can hear his artistry while you look at the precious object. I hesitate to burden your lovely post with an aside, but I must thank you for your comment at PD & let you know that it was your alert about Antique (and admonition about Bostridge) that led me to search further for the piece that now ends my own post. I love the Britten pieces that I know and am thrilled to have the benefit of your insights and recommendations for more to explore. Speaking of your insights/recommendations, finally today, Hallelujah Junction has arrived!
