Burford Priory, Medieval country house in Burford, England.

The stone building features large windows, gabled roofs, and decorative chimneys that characterize traditional English country house architecture from the Tudor period.

The property witnessed significant changes when Speaker William Lenthall acquired it in 1637, integrating Jacobean design elements throughout the structure.
