Burford is a medieval town on the River Windrush in the Cotswold hills in West Oxfordshire, England. It is often referred to as the 'gateway' to the Cotswolds. Burford is located 18 miles (29 km) west of Oxford and 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Cheltenham, about 2 miles (3 km) from the Gloucestershire boundary. The toponym derives from the Old English words burh meaning fortified town or hilltown and ford, the crossing of a river.
Burford Priory is a country house that stands on the site of a 13th-century Augustinian priory hospital. In the 1580s an Elizabethan house was built incorporating remnants of the building. It was remodelled in Jacobean style, probably after 1637, by which time the estate had been bought by William Lenthall, Speaker of the House of Commons in the Long Parliament. After 1912 the house and later the chapel were restored for the philanthropist Emslie John Horniman, M.P., by the architect Walter Godfrey.
From 1949 Burford Priory housed the Society of the Salutation of Our Lady, a community of Church of England nuns. In the 1980s, its numbers dwindled, so in 1987 it became a mixed community including Church of England Benedictine monks. In 2008 the community sold the property and it is now a private dwelling. Burford has twice had a bell-foundry: one run by the Neale family in the 17th century and the other run by the Bond family in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Local legend tells of a fiery coach containing Sir Lawrence Tanfield of Burford Priory and/or his wife flying around the town that brings a curse upon all who see it. Andrews speculates that the apparition may have been caused by a local tradition of burning effigies of the unpopular couple that began after their deaths. The visitations were reportedly ended when local clergymen trapped Lady Tanfield's ghost in a corked glass bottle during an exorcism and cast it into the River Windrush. During droughts locals would fill the river from buckets to ensure that the bottle did not rise above the surface and free the spirit.

Burford High Street
Driving down from The Hill in Burford, the gateway to the Cotswolds as the tourist trade has it, thanks to its bridge accross the Windrush river, in an area where steep terrain has made roads scarse.
While Dutch and Japanese (and many others) holidayers stroll along the antique shops on High Street, local traffic now finds the bridge a bottleneck.

Farms in Bampton in Oxfordshire from 1935
Tommy Gerring, now almost 94 years old (at Feb 2016) began working on a farm aged 14 in 1936. He recalls in this film who owned all the farms in Bampton, Oxfordshire in 1935, who worked on which farm and what stock they had. This is a wonderful record of people, work and life in a small town of about two and a half thousand people. He saw a time when one man with two shire horses and 7 acres of his own land could earn a living being hired out with his horses to work on neighbouring farms; when a 200 acres farm employed about 12 men, more at harvest time has now expanded to 600 acres and is worked by just one man, some large machinery and with a little help at harvest time to take the trailer loads of wheat and barley to storage while he continues to drive the combine. Over the same period we have gone from people growing what food they could in their own gardens, some having a pig and chickens there as well to gardens which are low maintenance and used for sitting and playing in and having hard standing for one or more cars. Few people now know how to grow their own food and have no understanding of how it's produced on a farm.
