Rh CITADII.I.A. CLACKMANNAN'. There arc beside* some very rich and curious brasses and inonum> nts. The church, both extciirilly anil internally, isum "tt!. id most interesting in England. A new church (Trinity) was built at Watermoor in 1850 ; it id in the early English style, ami has a lif<ht and graceful spire. '1 Koman Catholic chapel, which has been recently erected, and several places of worship Muring to the diflun nt denominations of Protestant Dissenters. The deanery of Cirencester is included in the archdeac. of Bristol, and in the dioc. of Glo and Bristol. It contains nil tin i In tho bund, of Crowthome and Minty . ! : :tl others. There are several schools in Cirencester. The free grammar school was founded by Bishop Ituthall, a native of the town, and privy-councillor to Henry VI. Dr. Jcnner, who introduced vaccination, was educated at this school ; and Dr. Parry, the physician of Bath, and father of Sir Kilward Parry, was also one of its scholars. Tho blue- coat school was founded in 1714, by Thomas Powell, Esq. The yellow-coat school was founded about the same time by Mrs. Powell ; her object was to teach 20 boys of Circncester reading, arithmetic, and tho art of frame- work knitting, and to clothe and educate 20 girls and teach them to spin. St. John's hospital was founded by Henry I. : its revenues are not large, and the founda- tion is only for eight poor persons. St. Lawrence's hos- pital, for three widows, was founded by Edith, lady of the manor of Wiggold. St. Thomas's hospital for four poor weavers, was founded by Sir William Nottingham in the reign of Henry IV. Like most of the charities of Circiu -est< r, it allows but a very small sum to it* pen- sioners. There are also almahouscs known as Brydges' and George's. The Royal Agricultural College, which is situated about 1 mile from tho town, was established and incorporated by royal charter in 1845. It is a handsome building in tho Tudor style, and was founded with the view of making science a branch of agricultural education. It has a principal, and professors of ch.emi-.hy. geology, veterinary surgery, and surveying. A farm is attached to the college, and tho students are enabled to sec scientific theories verified in practice. Tho institu- tion met with much opposition at first, but its utility is now generally recognised. Tho town possesses a me- chanirs' institute and a temperance hall. The latter was erected in 1846 by Christopher Fowley, a member of tho Society of Friends. Many coins and altars have been found in the vicinity of the town : a small head, decorated with a mural crown, and apparently taken off a basso-relievo, was dug up in 1723 ; a tesselated pavement at the same time, and several others since. The remains of a Boman hypocaust were brought to light in 1 780. A brass figure of Apollo, which is now in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, was also found here. In tho Querus, or Cairus, a field adjoining the town on the W., is "The Bull-ring," which is supposed to bo a Roman amphi- theatre. Its urea is of an elliptical form, enclosed by a mound of earth about 20 feet high, and measuring about 190 in its major axis by 140 in its minor. The seats cut in the earth may, with some difficulty, still ! traced. The seat of linrl Bathurst is at Oakley Mouse, near Cinncestcr. The park is open tot lie public; its principal avenue is 5 miles in length, and about 50 yards wide. Monday is market day.
