Cirencester Road is not to be confused with Cirencester Street of C13th, which has also been called "Cicester Street", later known as Gumstool Hill and Union Street.

In 1781 Chipping Lane was widened and the road from the north corner of The Chipping was cut in the same period making access to the town much easier.

In 1860 there was the 'Oak Inn' [or the Royal Oak], three cottages, one house and seven parcels of land.

In the 1940s private housing development took place on the Manor House parkland
