From an English Churches website:-
This is the largest church in Gloucestershire and was built, using money from wool, in the C15/16th on the site of an earlier church. The church was the joint work of the town and nearby St Mary’s Abbey. There were ten wealthy wool merchants in mid C14th Cirencester and the abbey had extensive flocks of sheep. The coats of arms in the nave are mainly those of nobles and of the abbey.
