copings and globe finials. Oval datestones in outer gables and oval name-stone

Burford Priory. The cant of the left-hand bay of Inglenook is evidence of the
earlier core of the building, said to have been 2 cottages. The entrance
formerly consisted of 2 separate doors flanking a central window, replaced by
the present arrangement in the late C20.
