In Preparation One of the aims of the society is to publish information concerning the past of Cirencester and its environs. This has been achieved by publishing Newletters containing short articles and, recently, short reports on talks held during the year. Longer studies have been published as the Miscellany series. All publications to up to Newsletter 52 have been lodged with the Gloucestershire Archives. Details of how to find them is given in Newsletter 49. This newsletter also discusses our project to influence new place names in Cirencester by historical references, and some local public art. The contents of the publications can be found using the tabs left. We do have a small stock of back numbers of both Newsletters and Miscellany. If we have what you want, back issues of Newsletters are £3 each and of Miscellany are £5 from our editor. The Society is keen to have assistance for future publications. If you feel up to editing or even researching new material, our Editor will be pleased to hear from you. If you have material suitable for publication in short form about some aspect of local history we may be able to help
