Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Burford There are not many towns just like Burford. It stands to-day very much as it did in the days of the Georges and before. The long, wide street, the old houses, the venerable Tolsey and the Church make up a picture of past times which it has seemed well to represent by pencil and by pen, before the now distant railway invades the quiet town, bringing with it the destroying hand and disturbing influence of modern civilisation; before, too, the records of the rich historical and other associations of Burford are dispersed by Time's relentless hand.

Not illustrated. 1891 edition. Excerpt: ... Ecclesiastical Burforb. THE SYNOD. 5jOR many years before the 7thcentuiy a strife had raged between the ancient British Church and the Roman Church respecting the question, "When should Easter Day be kept?" The Britons adhered to the rule laid down at the Council of Aries, A.d. 3r4, that Easter Day should be the 14th day of the Paschal moon, even if it were on a Sunday. The Roman Church had decided that when the 14th day of the Paschal moon was a Sunday, Easter Day should be the Sunday after. Various Synods were held in different parts of the kingdom with the object of settling this controversy, and one was held for this object at Burford A.d. 685. We may deduce from the fact of the Synod being held at Burford, that the Britons in some numbers had settled in the town and neighbourhood. This Synod was attended by Ethelred, King of Mercia, and his nephew Berthwald (who had been granted the Southern part of his uncle's kingdom); Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury; Borel, Bishop of Worcester; Sexwulph, Bishop of Lichfield; Aldhelm, Abbot of Malmesbury; and many others. The Archbishop Theodore mentioned certainly left his mark on the history of the Church. The circumstances under which he was appointed Primate are as follows: a remarkable mortality had seized the Saxon Bishops, and as the Churches of Rome and England were at this time in close connection, the Saxons asked the Pope if he would select a man for Archbishop. This was quite natural, as the Pontiff had a large field from which to make a selection; and, moreover, the last candidate for the Archbishopric that the Saxons had sent over to Rome for consecration died on the voyage, and there were few men, on account of the mortality referred to, equal to undertaking that very onerous...

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burford is in the County of Brant and is located eight kilometers west of the City of Brantford along Highway 53, and seventy kilometers east of London. In 1793 Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe granted to Abraham Dayton the entire Township of Burford. Dayton was a native of Milford, Connecticut. The township was to become the "new Jerusalem" for a religious sect with which he was affiliated. Dayton broke his ties with the sect and settled just west of the present village of Burford. He was responsible for bringing several families into the township and by the spring of 1797 the new settlement consisted of twenty-one families. Abraham Dayton died March 1, 1797 after a prolonged illness. Abigail Dayton, Abraham's widow, later married Colonel Joel Stone and moved to Gananoque where she lived until her death in 1843 at the age of 93. The Dayton's only child, Abiah, was the wife of Benajah Mallory and she and her husband followed her parents into this township. Benajah Mallory became a man of considerable influence and by 1805 was elected Member of the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada representing Norfolk, Oxford, and Middlesex. In June 1812, war was declared against Upper Canada by the United States. During the course of the war, Mallory accepted a commission in the U.S. forces and was considered a traitor back home. Benajah Mallory became outlawed and his land was forfeited to the Crown. John Yeigh, his wife Mary and their children Jacob, John Junior, Adam, Henry and Eva arrived in Burford from Pennsylvania by covered wagon in June 1800. The family cleared land, farmed and established the first pottery in the Burford area. Jacob and Adam distinguished themselves in the War of 1812 and were also active participants in the 1837 Rebellion.

Book excerpt: Nestling in the Windrush Valley at the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds,' the small west Oxfordshire town of Burford is well known for its picturesque qualities. Its streets, set against the backdrop of a spectacular medieval church, display a rich variety of stone and timber-framed buildings, which together lend much of its charm. This book is about the creation of the town we see today: its buildings, its townscape and the people who, over the centuries, have lived in and helped shape it. Chronological chapters set Burford in context, looking at its creation by medieval planners, its role in the Cotswold wool trade, and its later history as a small market and (briefly) coaching town. Chapters on the buildings explore not only their construction and materials, but their changing uses over time, re-populating them with the people who built, used and lived in them. Grand houses, humble cottages and shops or workshops are all included, while two chapters are devoted to the church and the other religious buildings. A house-by-house gazetteer summarises the history of every building along the main street, which visitors can use to help explore the town. The book draws on extensive fieldwork and documentary research over several years, much of it carried out with the help of volunteers. Most of the buildings have never been studied in such depth, and several have been scientifically tree-ring dated for the first time. The book will allow visitors, residents and specialists alike to see the town with new eyes, casting fresh light on its origins and growth, on its built character, and on the lives of its inhabitants.
