Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S. -

Prehistory in the Cirencester Area
VCH Glos. 16 – Pre-history Draft 1.0 Prehistory in the Cirencester area Timothy Darvill The Churn Valley and adjacent limestone uplands in the parishes considered in this volume were extensively if sparsely occupied during prehistoric times, with the scale and extent of settlement increasing considerably after about 700 BC. Archaeologically the area is extremely rich, but understanding these early communities draws on many different strands of evidence. Investigations by antiquarians working here from the eighteenth century onwards are important, and one of the earliest recorded excavations in Gloucestershire was by Anthony Freston at the Hoar Stone long barrow, Duntisbourne Abbots, in 1806.1 More recently, systematic surveys of upstanding monuments,2 fieldwalking,3 aerial photography,4 geophysical survey, excavation, and the scientific study of finds and materials each provide a wealth of complementary information. Ongoing research projects around Bagendon,5 and on Abbey Home Farm in Baunton and Preston parishes,6 contribute many insights. But the single most important contribution in recent years has come from commercial archaeology projects such as those connected with upgrading the A417/419,7 the expansion of Cirencester,8 and gravel extraction in the Cotswold Water Park.9 Overviews of archaeology in the area provide a wider context for the material discussed below.10 1 A.

Daglingworth Draft 1.0 DAGLINGWORTH
VCH Gloucestershire: Volume XVI, Daglingworth Draft 1.0 DAGLINGWORTH THE VILLAGE OF DAGLINGWORTH is located 21 km. (13 miles) south-east of Gloucester, and 4 km. (3 miles) north-west of the town of Cirencester, the parish of which it has bordered since the abolition of Stratton parish in 1935.1 Ermine Way, the Roman road connecting Cirencester with Gloucester, runs across the fields of the parish to the east of the village. The parish, which extends almost 4½ km. (3 miles ) across at its widest point, is bisected by the Daglingworth stream, along which the village stretches for almost 1 km. (⅔ mile), hidden from the surrounding countryside by a narrow valley. A handful of isolated farms and mansion houses, all modern, are scattered through the rest of the parish, which has retained its rural character to the present day. For most of its history the main economic activity of the parish has been sheep-and-corn agriculture, although the extraction of limestone has grown in importance since the opening of a large quarry on Daglingworth down in the 20th century. LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILT CHARACTER BOUNDARIES AND PARISH ORIGINS Daglingworth was estimated to measure 1,811 a. in 1837, 1,884 a. in 1851, and 1,923 a. in 1891.2 Daglingworth was augmented in 1935 following the abolition of Stratton parish,3 and measured 2,163 a. in 1951.4 The boundaries of Daglingworth, shown on the tithe award map of 1839,5 were defined for the most part by field boundaries, indicated in places by banks or stones,6 but occasionally also followed topographical features such as roads or waterways. -

Bagendon Draft 1.0
VCH Gloucestershire: Volume XVI, Bagendon Draft 1.0 BAGENDON THE VILLAGE OF BAGENDON is situated 21 km. (13 miles) south-east of Gloucester and 5 km. (3 miles) north of Cirencester. The parish lies within the valley of the river Churn, which forms part of its eastern boundary, whilst the village lies across one of the river’s tributaries. Although the parish was the site of a significant prehistoric settlement, the ditches of which have divided Bagendon from the neighbouring estate of North Cerney since at least the 9th century, the medieval and modern village has never been populous. The construction of a turnpike between Cirencester and Cheltenham accelerated development along its course, spurring the fringe of Bagendon to acquire a suburban quality during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the abiding characteristic of the parish remains rural and agricultural, with only the ancient mill providing any significant industrial activity before recent times. LANDSCAPE, SETTLEMENT AND BUILT CHARACTER BOUNDARIES The parish measured 1,106 a. in 1792,1 and still in 1841, recalculated to 1,146 a. in 1891.2 The parish is long and narrow in shape, measuring almost 5 km. (c.3 miles) from north to south and 1½ km. (c.1 mile) across from east to west, although in places it contracts to less than 500 m. (c.546 yds) in width. The boundaries of the parish were depicted on the enclosure map of 1792,3 and for much of their length they follow clear topographical features such as roads and waterways. To the east and north, the boundary is defined by the river Churn, its tributary the Bagendon brook, a road running north from the brook to Woodmancote, and a lane running south-west to the brook. -
