About Us
Moore Allen and Innocent owes its origins to the cattle markets in Cirencester and Lechlade withdeep roots, dating back to 1845 when Mr. C.F. Moore conducted his first property auction at the Bathurst Arms, North Cerney.
After 150 years, the livestock market in Cirencester was closed in 1996. Since then, the business has expanded in other directions to form today’s modern, independent and multi-disciplined firm of Chartered Surveyors. We now provide the most comprehensive range of agricultural and rural services for farmers and landowners in the area, alongside a busy residential department, active in both sales and lettings; as well as our own saleroom / auction house specialising in all things, art, furniture and household goods.
