Architectural: Colchester

Detailed list of architectural fragments from Colchester; columns, mouldings, veneers, and paving except tesserae.

Because of the great number of architectural fragments published in the Colchester Architectural Reports, most of these are listed here rather than in the main list of architectural features, which otherwise would become unwieldy. Other architectural features from Colchester are described in the main list.
