Abbey House, Cirencester
Abbey House was a country house in the English county of Gloucestershire that developed on the site of the former Cirencester Abbey following the dissolution and demolition of the abbey at the Reformation in the 1530s. The site of the dissolved abbey of Cirencester was granted in 1564 to Richard Master, physician to Queen Elizabeth I. Dr. Master died in 1588, and it was probably either his son, George, or more probably his grandson, Sir William Master, who demolished the old monastery buildings and constructed the house depicted in an engraving of c.1710 by Jan Kip.

Cirencester Deer Park School
Niché au sommet de Tetbury Hill dans les superbes Cotswolds, cet établissement secondaire public bénéficie d'un emplacement historique pour le moins insolite. Son campus actuel occupe en effet l'emplacement exact d'un ancien hôpital militaire américain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, autrefois établi au cœur du domaine de Cirencester Park. Aujourd'hui transformée en une dynamique académie d'enseignement, cette école allie avec singularité l'histoire locale du Gloucestershire et la vitalité de la jeunesse britannique moderne.
