The Tolsey, 16th-century market hall in Burford, England
The Tolsey stands on High Street with its timber-framed construction, featuring symmetrical bay windows and gables on the first floor level.
Built in 1520 as a merchant meeting place, the ground floor served for wool trading while the upper chamber collected market tolls and hosted court sessions.
The museum displays artifacts from Burford's past, including tools for rope production, traditional woodwind instruments, and items from local craftsmen.
Visitors can explore the museum between April and October daily from 2 PM to 5 PM, with weekend openings during November and December.
The building contained a lock-up for minor offenders in the late 1500s and stored a horse-drawn fire engine during the 18th century.
