Commercial

This small building is probably Burford's best-documented property, because of its acquisition (with earlier deeds) by Brasenose College, Oxford, i

The earliest feature is a stone Caernarvon archway in the right-hand front room, with the characteristic ‘shoulders’ of the late 13th century.

This united rubblestone front conceals a jumble of rooms and phases and some re-used timber.

Occupying the whole of a wide medieval burgage plot, this long frontage dates from after 1863, when the building was Newman's drapers.

At No. 94, now called Christmas Court, the canopy with supporting columns, the boxed shopfront, and the bay windows are all 19th-century.

This extensive corner site was assembled from three separate narrow properties in 1839–41, by the linen draper William G. Westrope.

Though substantially remodelled both buildings are of medieval origin, and were apparently of moderately high status.

A 17th-century front (now rendered) hides another building of medieval origin.

This imposing, early 18th-century ashlar front in Taynton stone hides remains of a 15th- or 16th-century building behind.
