More about this scene
Owing to inadequate foundations, the tower of St John's showed signs of stress shortly after it was built in 1420.

Daniel George Bingham, a great benefactor to Cirencester, was born in Blackjack Street in 1830.

I took my wife there for her first time in the Cotswolds and was greeted by a line of newish semi detached houses with smaller front gardens? My Gran's house, as the others did, had very long gardens, and a bit steep too? Thank you to anyone who can help?
