Sherborne's Roman Villa explored in Victorian times?

I've written recently about a number of possible Roman sites, maybe even including villas in four or five locations within Sherborne. It turns out that these are not all new discoveries.

In 1887, Lord Sherborne was appointed the president of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society. He was a founding member of the Society. He made an inaugural address that apparently was well received, and as with the formalities of the day, a vote of thanks was proposed and seconded for his speech.

The seconder, Mr. Christopher Bowley, said in his short speech, that "it was always an advantage when they got large landowners like Lord Sherborne to take an interest in archaeology, because they would do so much in preserving objects of interest on their estates. He believed it was not generally known that on Lord Sherborne's estate there was a buried Roman villa, a small portion of which had been opened up, and he hoped proper steps would be taken to explore and preserve it."

Lord Sherborne then suitably acknowledged the vote and "made a few remarks respecting the Roman villa".

I'm afraid that's all the details I have. I found that deep in a Victorian book of transactions of the society. But it shows that even in the Victorian age there was at least one Roman villa known about and at least partially explored within Sherborne. I'll continue to trawl the transactions for other references.
