Great Tey has been inhabited for several thousand years.
In and around the village have been discovered remains of iron age farms, one of the largest Roman Villas in England,
Location: Brook Road, coming up the hill towards the village
The soldier is described as being in armour, but there's no mention of any weapons. He also seems to be walking on an older, lower surface - he's visible only from the knees up.![[Image: rom.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/Alfrina/General%20Use/rom.jpg)
(I love the graphic... :lol: lol)
As mentioned above, we have the remains of a Roman Villa on the outskirts of the village - and no doubt our Soldier had some connection with it. Here's an account of one witness' experience (name withheld at his request) :
"I was about ten years old and walking along the causeway one night (circa 1936) to the barn & found a group of villagers at the ford (where the Roman River goes under the road now) closest to Tey, saying they could hear marching/metalic noises on the meadow across the road from the barn. While it was unkown at the time - it was coming from the Roman Villa site (discovered some 50 years later)."

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
