Burford
Burford is a small medieval community on the River Windrush, in the Cotswold hillsides, in the West Oxfordshire area of Oxfordshire, England. It is typically described as the 'entrance' to the Cotswolds. Burford lies 18 miles (29 kilometres) west of Oxford and also 22 miles (35 kilometres) southeast of Cheltenham, concerning 2 miles (3 km) from the Gloucestershire limit. The toponym stems from the Old English words burh indicating fortified community or hilltown and ford, the crossing of a river. The 2011 Census recorded the population of Burford parish as 1,410 and Burford Ward as 1,847. The town centre's most notable structure is the Church of St John the Baptist, a Church of England parish church, which is a Quality I listed structure. Described by David Verey as "a challenging structure which has created in a curious way from the Norman", it is understood for its merchants' guild church, memorial to Henry VIII's barber-surgeon, Edmund Harman, featuring South American Indians and also Kempe stained glass. In 1649 the church was used as a prison throughout the Civil War, when the New Model Army Banbury mutineers were held there. A few of the 340 detainees left makings as well as graffiti, which still survive in the church. The town centre additionally has some 15th-century homes and also the baroque style townhouse that is now Burford Methodist Church. Between the 14th as well as 17th centuries Burford was essential for its woollen trade. The Tolsey, midway along Burford's High Street, which was once the centerpiece for trade, is currently a museum.
