Burford Wills Transcripts: Help Page
When complete this website will contain transcripts of all the wills and inventories for Burford for the period 1500 to 1700. These have been transcribed by the Burford Probate Group as part of the Oxfordshire EPE project. The group's approach has been to transcribe them as faithfully as possible, retaining their layout and original spellings. They are also preparing a glossary to help with obscure terms. The originals are held in Oxfordshire Record Office or The National Archives.
