Information from NRHE A hoard of about 37 3rd century Roman coins were found during the building of a house at Margaretting in August 1931 and south of the Roman road to London. Thirty two of the coins were given to Colchester Museum No 170.32 by T Letheren, of Widford. <3> <4> <6> TL 68110266. A house called Romans is situated here which was built in 1930/31. The present occupants have only lived here since 1937 but they state that they have heard that Roman coins were found there when the house was being built and hence the reason for the house being called 'Romans'. <7> Note: this record was initially duplicated by the NRHE but this duplication has since been cancelled.
