Ruby Langdon attended St Margaret's School during the 1920s and 1930s - exact years not recalled at present. According to her daughter she clearly remembers the existence of a Roman mosaic floor out in the grounds - quite large and well preserved -although not cared for. The girls were taken out to see it. They were always told it would probably have been the floor of a Roman villa. She presumes the developers chose not to 'see' it (in the 1960s ) as it would have caused delays or worse when the new housing was built. Nothing has ever been mentioned of its existence since.
Ruby Langdon was a contemporary and good friend of Betty Bastin who, if traceable - or perhaps her family - would also remember the mosaic, and might know more?
Can anyone help with further information including Betty Bastin mentioned above
or her family?
