Burford Tolsey Museum
The Tolsey Museum is a local museum in the town of Burford, west Oxfordshire, England.[1][2][3]
The Tolsey Museum is located on Burford's main street in a Tudor market/court house.[1] It is a black and white timber-fronted building on stone pillars.[4] In medieval times, the building was a meeting point for wool merchants. Tolls and taxes were also paid here. The building was included in the BBC Domesday Project.[5]
The collection covers local history, culture, and industry. Exhibits at the museum include the town maces, charters and seals of guilds, a doll's house, and objects related to brewing, rope-making, and stone quarrying.[2][4]
