More about this scene
Like many other Cotswold towns, Burford's fortunes were founded on wool, but leather and paper making were also important industries. Rich merchants and tradesfolk built houses for themselves along the town's streets, which is why grand dwellings and humble cottages can be seen cheek by jowl. It was after a visit to Burford in 1876 that William Morris was so appalled by restoration work underway in the church that he drafted the letter which led to the formation of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
