126 High Street
Burford, England OX18 4QU
The Burford Tolsey Museum Open April to December Is situated in the Tolsey, a building located in Burford High Street where the mediaeval road between London and Bristol crossed the High Street. It was built in the early 1500’s as the market house where traders came to pay tolls for the use of market facilities, and where the Borough Court met. Since the 1960s, it has saved and displayed a wonderful collection of fascinating local artefacts, including civic maces and plates, medieval scrolls, a doll’s house modelled on house in town, and a glimpse at the many local industries that Burford used to have in years gone by. These include a bell foundry, gunsmith, a clarinet maker and more." We are absolutely free to visit but if you enjoy your visit, we would appreciate a donation (and a nice review).
