Oh there’s also another “wide” church in Winchelsea, East Sussex.

Well observed, the church is wider than most churches in the UK.

Cirencester was the second largest city in Roman Britain.

Its growth and importance has developed and changed over the years.

There is so much history to see in Cirencester.

There was a glass panel in the floor near to the hotel reception, showing roman architecture.

The church has a very unusual design.
It looks very wide and the tower really stands out.

Parish Church of St John Baptist, Cirencester must have been amazing back in the early 12th century, and even more amazing as enlargements occurred in later centuries. Was Cirencester a very important city back then?

You obviously found this town very interesting, Cherie. I particularly like visiting the Roman Amphitheatre, and imagining it in all its glory
