The Bulletin  

SWAN RIVER CHIEFTAIN— page 25  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3908  

Wednesday, January 5, 1955  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

COLCHESTER, AMONG THE  

EARLIEST OF  

ROMAN TOWNS IN BRITAIN  

ONG before the Romans sent their  

legions across the English Channel,  

Colchester, or Camulodunum as it was  

then called, was an important centre on  

the River Colne in Essex. Nearly two  

thousand years ago it was the Royal seat  

of King Cunobelinus, who was later  

immortalised by Shakespeare in his play  

“Cymbeline.” Many coins of this period  

found in Colchester are preserved in one  

of the town’s museums.  

In a.d. 44 the Roman emperor-Claudius  

captured the town and established there  

colony of veterans, making Colchester  

one of the first Roman towns in Britain.  

Seventeen years later Boadicea, the  

British Warrior Queen, at the head of her  

tribes, the Iceni and Trinobantes, routed  

the Roman garrison and put Colchester  

to fire and sword.  

Revenge was exacted by the Roman  

general Suetonius, and Boadicea, seeing  

the rout and slaughter of the army which  

she had led from her famous chariot,  

ended her life by taking poison. Soon  

after this event the Romans built wall  

to protect the town, and today the remains  

of this wall can still be seen in Colchester.  

It extends for mile and half, and one  

section adjoins the ancient Church of  

St. Mary-at-the-Walls. This 15th-  

century church was damaged during the  

76-day siege of 1648 when Cromwell’s  

Ironsides rose against King Charles and  

the town was garrisoned by Royalist  

forces. After the bitter fighting all that  

remained of the church was the lower  

portion of the tower, and upon this, in  

later years, was erected belfry in red  

brick.  

The oldest church tower in Colchester,  

however, is that of Holy Trinity, shown  

in the accompanying illustration. The  

tower dates from the year 1050 and is  

fine example of late Saxon architecture.  

In the north chapel of the church is  

monument commemorating William  

Gilberd, M.D., physician to Queen Eliza-  

beth I, who was also pioneer of  

electrical science and was famous in his  

day throughout Europe.
