Cirencester Leasing
Did You Know?With a population of just under 20,000, Cirencester is one of the biggest small towns in the country. The town is visited by thousands of tourists every single year looking to discover Cirencester’s Roman history. Cirencester’s current mayor Joe Harris became the country’s youngest ever county councillor. At just 20-years-old, he won the most votes in the Cirencester Park ward election to take his seat in Shire Hall. Former workers at Cirencester’s King’s Head Hotel have reported sightings of a number of ghoulish guests. People claim to have seen the spectre of a man tortured by the Romans walking around the site, which dates back to the 16th century. Cirencester is well known as the second largest town in Roman Britain. But those living in the Watermoor area of the town may be unaware that the tombs of two auxiliary cavalrymen have been discovered nearby. In 1549, King Henry VIII ordered that Cirencester Abbey, which at the time was 400 years old, was pulled down. The rubble from the demolition was used in the town’s new buildings. One of Cirencester’s greatest Roman treasures is the near-perfect remains of an amphitheatre. The oval-shaped arena, which 2,000 years ago was known as the Bull Ring, was used for staging beast fights and gruesome and gory gladiator battles. Long before the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard was established as Cirencester residents’ favourite read, the town was covered by a different newspaper. The Cirencester Flying Post was set up at the start of the 18th century and was the only source of news for people in the area. The 300-year-old yew hedge surrounding the Bathurst Estate is over 40 ft tall and is also the tallest one in the country. It takes around 80 man hours for a team of two to give the hedge its annual short, back and sides.
