Cirencester

The Roman Corinium mentioned by Ptolemy in 150AD is the present day Cotswolds market town of Cirencester. It lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the Thames, and is often called the "capital of the Cotswolds". There are many buildings featuring the honey-coloured limestone of that region, and more than a few that  have been painted in pastel shades as this view along the Market Place shows.
