Roman carvings in stone

A Subscriber writes—"I am not aware that this locality has received from Mr. Roach Smith, the eminent Antiquary—in fact our best authority upon Roman remains—that attention which I am convinced it deserves. The arch of a small window on the North side of Ashtead Church is turned with Roman tiles, and a variety of interesting fragments have been found in the vicinity—particularly portions of a Hypocaust, of one of which you have a representation half the size of the original—the subject is evidently a wolf attacking a stag."
