North Yorkshire artists creates stunning Roman mural in region's most northerly vineyard
- 3 years ago
A North Yorkshire artist has revealed a glimpse into the Roman past in a giant new mural which reveals what the village of Aldborough would have looked like in the third century A.D.
Working in acrylics, Leyburn-based artist Lynn Ward has taken six months to complete the unique painting, which measures an impressive 18 square metres, and brings to life an important part of Yorkshire during the Roman occupation.
The mural, now on display at Dunesforde Vineyard, sheds light on what the modern-day village of Aldborough looked like in the third century A.D. when it was the Roman Empire’s administrative centre for northern Britain.
