Cirencester

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.
