Cirencester, known as the "Capital Of The Cotswolds", is a historic Roman market town in the heart of the Cotswolds. Cirencester lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames, and is the largest town in the Cotswolds.

The Romans invaded England in 43 AD. The Celtic tribe in this area, the Dobunni put up little resistance. Nevertheless, the Romans built a fort on the site of Cirencester. The Roman name for the town was Corinium, which is thought to have been associated with the ancient British tribe of the Dobunni.

A thriving wool industry contributed to the town’s growth and by the late 2nd century Corinium was the second-largest city in Britain. The Saxons captured the town in 577 and in Saxon times the name of the town was Cirrenceastre or Cyrneceastre.

In February 1643, during the Civil War, Royalists and Parliamentarians clashed in the streets of Cirencester with 300 killed.

Cirencester's market square is dominated by the cathedral-like Parish Church of St. John Baptist (one of the largest in England). The large south porch has an impressive fan vaulting that was built in about 1490.

Cirencester today is primarily an agricultural and tourist centre.
