Fairford on the River Coln may be familiar to many Cirencester residents, but this walk led by Syd Flatman of the Fairford History Society will reveal new and interesting sites and themes. The town was once a significant centre of the wool trade, and it is famed for its parish church which has as superb and complete set of medieval stained glass windows. Fairford was an important coaching stop on the old London to Gloucester route, served by numerous inns and hotels.
Syd Flatman and his family moved from London to Fairford in 1950. Syd can provide a remarkably detailed account of the town from that time as well as a few diverting tales of local personalities.
