Around 1 mile away at the village of Tiddington are the remains of a Roman fort. The fort was probably occupied between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. During the era of the [[Roman Empire]], the site at which Stratford-upon-Avon is now located was the site of a Roman road or 'street', which is referenced in the name of the town.
