St. Michael's is a ward in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, covering part of the market town of Cirencester and its immediate surroundings. Set on the upper reaches of the River Churn amid the honey‑coloured limestone of the Cotswolds, it blends compact urban streets and Georgian terraces with easy access to rolling countryside and nearby escarpments.
The area reflects Cirencester's long history - from Roman Corinium to later market‑town growth - and hosts local shops, small businesses and regular markets that attract both residents and visitors. Socially it is a mix of long‑standing local families, independent traders and commuters who travel to larger centres such as Cheltenham and Swindon, while active community groups and conservation interests keep a strong focus on preserving the town's historic character.
