Daniel Bingham made his fortune on the Dutch railways. Born in Black Jack Street here in Cirencester, he returned to his hometown to become a major benefactor. Among his gifts is Bingham House. Completed in 1904 by V A Lawson, it used to house the Bingham Library, which has since moved. Today, a gallery here displays works by local artists illustrating the history of this ancient market town. In addition, Millenium Embroidery, the acclaimed work of a group of Cirencester residents is also on display.
