Cirencester
was the second largest town in Britain during Roman times. Today the former
Corinium Dobunnorum is home to more than 18,000 people and a service centre
for the thousands more who live in surrounding villages.
In later years it was a very prosperous medieval wool town.
Cirencester's market square is dominated by the cathedral-like St. John
Baptist church (one of the largest in England). The large south porch with
it's impressive fan vaulting was built about 1490.
