The Burford Tolsey Museum and Archive is a fine little two room museum in Burford, England and situated in The Tolsey which is at 126 High Street, Burford and build in an old market house.
The history of this town is fantastic with stories of fiery coaches racing through the streets of the town casting curses on all those who see it, to stories of the English Civil Wars and the Burford Mutiny and Levellers (every day there is a commemoration of the rebellion during Burford Levellers Day)! It's one of the most interesting places in the whole of The Cotswolds England!

Impeccably clean throughout the Cotswold thanks
Walked through Burford when walking from Oxford to Bath. Beautiful part of the world.
The building that I liked the most in your beautiful video was the one named THE COOK SHOP mainly because of the beautiful little oriel window in the facade... ❤🇬🇧

Charles Clinkard what a fabulous name ,christmas court is very quaint .the river Windrush despite its very poetic name looks very stagnant apart from the weir which looks lovely ,
Yes I really loved that it's called Christmas Court! Very cute!
The Shop-Gallery with small place is so lovely and chic.

Lovely lovely place! The Cotswolds are the best!
👍
We went to Burford about a week ago and it is a lovely place. We stayed at Lechlade which as a lovely christmas shop. Wonder why there was so many pubs but I guess it was their entertainment in those days.
Another lovely walk in the Cotswold maybe not as picturesque as some of the others and rather busier but still some great looking buildings thank you . Keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️
Many thanks!
Lovely town. The Mermaid Inn looks amazing, must be incredible inside
It really is!
Oh it’s next door I’ll check it out never stayed in Burford but been through and round many times so will have a good look.
Very Nice walk again !
That accident happened because...they wernt driving im the Middle of the road !!😂🤣😄
🤣🤣🤣
Burford is indeed a lovely village. Though there are many nice shops, restaurants etc, one of my faves is the Christmas Court. Huffkins Cafe and Bakery is where I would make a stop - I love assorted pastries.
Good taste Irene!
Well another beautiful Cotswold town and I love how long the street is. .I couldn’t t possibly pick a favourite building they’re all so lovely . I did love the brush shop that was unique I’ve never seen a shop like that before. Another place to put on my list. Thank you for a lovely walk through the town.
You’re welcome
A top one coming this Sunday too!
My favourite building would have to be The Cotswold Arms. I was billeted there, after service in the RAF, while doing an agricultural course at Shilton Poultry Farm in 1956/57. I see a lot of changes with the township having become a tourist destination. I used to cycle up and down the hill daily on my way to Shilton. Not many cars in those days. I met my future wife in the lounge bar where I used to take my evening meal. She was from a nearby village called Taynton. We married in 1958 at Taynton Church before I rejoined the RAF. My wife's G/father was a stonemason in Burford and her father was responsible for trimming the High Street trees on a regular basis. Does anyone know what those trees are?
I enjoyed that leisurely stroll with you. Incidentally, when I was living there, the town supported 13 pubs and the population was 900 residents. Ain't nostalgia wonderful. Regards from Queensland Australia.
A little bit more about Burford,
This is the stone country of the Cotswolds, from the quarries on the eastern edge came the easily worked oolite limestone to rebuild many of London's churches after the Great Fire, St Paul's Cathedral, Blenheim Palace, Oxford's colleges and the Sheldonian Theatre are also made from Cotswold Stone.
The ancient Priory, now a closed nunnery, lies to the west, holding the memories of 'pretty witty Nell' and her merry monarch within its austere walls. Their son born in 1670 was created Earl of Burford and Nell Gwyn named her rooms at Windsor Burford House.
Great stuff - thank you so much for this!
Utterly bucolic! Fond memories of wandering the side streets on a foggy spring evening with the gardens still resplendent in the failing light, accompanied by the bells ringing in the church ! Having only arrived in from Australia 2 days earlier we were entranced. Thank you for your efforts.
Superb
Thanks 🤗
Huffkins is the absolute best, been going there since before I can even remember
Forgot to mention the sweet shop, you can see it on the left at 5:39. Absolutely amazing, a little overpriced but it's all good quality
I'm surprised at how many American accents I hear. I'm sure living in England vs America is a welcomed calming change. Another great video. 🤟
Good point! Thanks Susan!
You should put all the Harry Potter references together in one video and every time you find another place you could add it to the end!
Is this one of the best Cotswolds Villages?
I think that when the late Ronnie Barker retired he ran a shop in Burford.,
I loved Ronnie barker
Besutiful river Windbrush. Is it the same river in Bourton on the water?
It is!
I want to visit The Madhatter's Bookshop - they are having a literary festival in September (2022) !
That sounds like the perfect excuse to visit!
Have you done Tetbury and Highgrove?
👍👍
Thanks Theo -have a great weekend!

A much different vibe here! Not the slow pleasant town as in your other visits to towns in the Cotswolds! Not as impressed with this town as I was with the other ones you walked.
Yes a few others have said the same to me about this one!
