Cirencester was a Roman town on the Fosse Way. In the Middle Ages it was still a road hub and also a wealthy wool town. Yarmoth is very close to the Fosse Way. Given the traditional depiction of St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers, I'm guessing this was lost by a wealthy traveller.

BTW, Cirencester is in the Cotswolds and the whole area is one of the most beautiful in England. If you're going to get out of London, the Cotswolds should be very high on the list.

A couple of typical Cotswolds views:

The Inn at Fossebridge, very near where the piece was found.

Thanks from me, too, CT. That surely is a beautiful place!

I've spent years in the Far East, but never managed to make it to the UK or Europe. If I did, I'd want to start at London and drive up to and through Scotland (west - east). Even better, as one of Scots descent, I'd like to do as a colleague did: rent a houseboat and cruise Loch Ness from end to end..

Not likely, though, since I'm 70+ now... :-(

If I win the lottery I’m moving to the Cotswolds:)
