Liam Gallagher has Roman temple next door to £4.2m Cotswolds mansion

The Oasis singer was rumoured to have bought a mansion near Cirencester in December last year, having previously rented it for £19,000 a month ahead of the band’s comeback tour.

During the summer, it was reported that Mr Gallagher and his fiancée, Debbie Gwyther, had been phoning around high-end estate agents to buy a new mansion in the Cotswolds.

Mr Gallagher himself confirmed earlier this year that he’s purchased Dockem House in the village of Coates over the Oxfordshire border.

Now, The Sun has reported that the musician’s new pad is next door to a Roman temple and that he’s a fan of history, making it a perfect match.

The five-acre estate is near Hailey Wood Camp, which dates back to 100AD, and has been buried since the 1980s.

Historic England said that the complex is rare and that only “a number of temple complexes [in the UK] have similar double-ditch enclosed areas”.

The Sun added: “Seven lead ‘curse tablets’, which Romans used to ask the Gods to jinx an enemy, were reportedly found there.

“Previous owner, World War I hero Major William Daubney, was the first to identify Hailey Wood Camp, an underground temple complex dating between 100AD and 400AD.

“The complex is centred on a square enclosure with other smaller buildings scattered around it and has been buried since the 1980s after the site was plundered for ‘coins and other metal objects’.”

A fan of history, Mr Gallagher was recently asked by a fan on the social media site X what the first thing he does on holiday.

The singer responded: “I unpack and hang up all my clothes in alphabetical order, then I go find out some local history, then I get on the p**s.”
