Oxfordshire County Museum Service purchased the Stonesfield Embroidery -- an early-eighteenth-century needlework carpet which used the design of the Roman Bacchus mosaic discovered in 1712 close to the eponymous village. Considers different images of the mosaic made after its discovery and its wider influence. Looks in detail at the Embroidery's design and manufacture and technical aspects of it as a textile. Also takes the opprotunity to reassess the original Bacchus Mosaic and villa site in the light of recent research.

Covered for 150 years, the pavement was revealed again in 1998. Test cleaning of well-preserved patches produced favourable results and this article outlines the history of the pavement. Future conservation/restoration is expected

This essay outlines the use of armorial tiles in heraldic illustration from the late-eighteenth century, and the main nineteenth-century collections in manuscript and print, some of which pre-date the `restorations' when many tiles were lost.
