Second Largest City in Britain!
During the Roman occupation Cirencester (Corinium) was the second largest city in Britain.
The site of the Roman town has been excavated and many Roman relics were found, some of which are on view at the Corinium Museum. Here you can see some of the finest mosaic pavements in Britain.
Architecture Old and New
Cirencester's architecture is a mellow blend of old and new buildings.
The interesting flying buttresses, which support the tower and add to the church's charm, were added at a later date when it was found to have been built on a filled-in ditch.
There is a wall painting of St. Catherine, many interesting brasses to the wool merchants, and a very rare pre-Reformation example of a wineglass pulpit, carved in stone circa 1450.
