Burford, Medieval town in West Oxfordshire, England
The town extends along the River Windrush with limestone buildings and medieval structures lining the sloping High Street toward the river crossing point.
The Easter Synod of 685 in Burford resolved the date calculation dispute between the Celtic Church and Early Church, with King Æthelred of Mercia attending.
The Church of St John the Baptist contains inscriptions carved by imprisoned Banbury mutineers in 1649, marking a significant Civil War episode.
The Tolsey building at 126 High Street serves as the Town Council office, open for public inquiries between 9:30 and 11:30 each morning.
Two bell foundries, operated by the Neale and Bond families, produced bells for churches throughout different centuries, establishing a metalworking tradition.
