EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming streets of Burford, West Oxfordshire, and discover the quaint charm of Old George Yard. This photograph, taken by Katherine MacFee for Historic England, captures a glimpse into the town's rich history.
The image shows a picturesque view of the houses along Old George Yard, seen from the High Street end. The 1920s-era buildings stand proudly alongside each other, their timber-framed facades adorned with half-timbering and steeply pitched roofs. The courtyard-style layout creates a sense of intimacy and community, as if you're stepping into a scene from centuries past.
Old George Yard is an excellent example of a traditional burgage plot development, where individual properties were built on narrow strips of land allocated to tenants or burgesses. The result is a unique architectural style that reflects the town's medieval heritage.
As you gaze upon this photograph, imagine the stories these ancient walls could tell - tales of merchants trading goods in yesteryear markets, families growing up within these very walls, and generations passing down traditions through laughter-filled gatherings around roaring fires.
This stunning print not only showcases Katherine MacFee's exceptional photography skills but also serves as a testament to Historic England's dedication to preserving our nation's cultural heritage. Take yourself back in time and immerse yourself in the beauty and character of Old George Yard.
