Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The children that I keep in pay for picking up coins in the fields, have brought me lately nothing curious or valuable. Some years ago, the Queen's head Inn, in this town, was looked upon as one of the most valuable remains of antiquity, there being in it a very antique building, which the old people still have a notion of, under the name of a temple. About fifty years ago, it was all turned upside down, and new built in a slight manner. They are now pulling it down again, to be rebuilt in a substantial manner. In digging for sand in the yard they have met with old foundations of Roman brick ; and a few coins, viz., a brass one of Nero; obver., a winged Victory carrying in her right hand a globe or shield ; one of Carausius, but not scarce ; and a few of the Constantine family. And also fragments of large urns, and a whole one containing about 2 quarts, in which were the bones of a young person, and a little piece of wood.'
