William Carey's Garden

The earliest written history of Britain began with Roman invasions along the east coast of present-day England. Between AD 43 and AD 100, the Romans effectively gained control of Britain and parts of Wales and built over 8,000 miles of road. When they failed to subdue the northern tribes of present-day Scotland, they built walls to keep the feisty Picts at bay. Hadrian’s Wall, built in AD 140, stood twelve feet high. The wall ran from coast to coast, over seventy miles long.
