A Little About Burford
Burford is a charming Cotswold town located in north Oxfordshire, often referred to as the gateway to the Cotswolds. With its attractive High Street sloping down to the River Windrush and crossed by a three-arched medieval bridge, Burford is a sight to behold. The town's name, Burford, means "Ford by a fortified place, " reflecting its Anglo-Saxon origins as a fortified site.
In the Domesday book, Burford was an agricultural village, but its fortunes changed with the granting of a charter establishing a merchant guild. This allowed burghers to hold their own markets, transforming Burford into a thriving commercial centre. In the 18th century, Burford was a flourishing coaching centre, with over 40 coaches passing through the town every day. However, the arrival of the railways in the 19th century saw Burford bypassed, which undoubtedly helped to preserve the town's charm.
Today, Burford's economy is based on the visitors who come to shop in the town and visit the attractive surrounding countryside. The town has been twinned with the Italian town of Potenza Picena since 2001, further adding to its rich cultural heritage.
