The Cotswolds look a beautiful place, my great grandparents x 2 had a place in the Cotswolds, Cotswold Grange, Pittville Circus.
I was amused to see the name Pittville Circus, can anyone explain it, seems an odd name for an area.

Pittville is, I believe, named after Joseph Pitt. The name 'Circus' in this context, is an intersection of several roads at a point.
