Note 5 — Chapter I

There was a sort of Christianizing of Britain in later Romish times, but not much warmth or spending force in it; and Wright assures us that amid all the Roman remains thus far brought to light of mosaics and vases, only one Christian symbol has been found. This is on a tessellated pavement of a Roman villa at Frampton, in Dorsetshire. Lysons published an engraving of this pavement.

See also Green (introduction to Making of England) in reference to Christian inscriptions and ornaments of Roman date. He makes no allusion to the Frampton symbol.
