Burford Tolsey Museum And Archive的点评
点评：The Tolsey Museum is one of the is one of the main sights on any walking tour of Burford.
You can’t miss it. Look for the black and white half-timbered Tudor building with the clock jutting out across the High Street.
Built in the 1500s, it was a central building in the town, serving mainly as a toll-house where market traders came to pay their dues, although the Borough Court also met here and there was a small jail, or lock-up, around the back.
The building is distinctive because it is raised up on stilt-like, stone pillars with a large, open area below. At first we wondered if this might have been due to flooding from the nearby River Windrush but in fact the open area underneath was the medieval marketplace.
In medieval times, wool was king in the Cotswolds and wool merchants met here, making the Tolsey building a hub for the sale of wool and cloth. It’s no coincidence that the Tolsey building is on the corner of Sheep St and High St. In medieval times, hundreds of prized sheep were funnelled, single-file down the narrow passage of Sheep St, into the market square for sale. This made it easier to count and control the sheep as they were herded into the market. We could only imagine the noise and the smell.
When we were there, a small market was being held on the ground floor and we could see how it might have operated centuries ago.
Today, the upper levels house a small museum (entry by donation) but it has very limited hours. It’s open every day over summer, but only from 2 - 5pm. We had arrived in Burford early in the morning hoping to beat some of the summer crowd so unfortunately we were too early for the museum.

翻译：托尔西博物馆是伯福德步行游览路线上的主要景点之一。
您绝对不会错过它。寻找那座黑白相间的都铎式半木结构建筑，它那突出于高街之上的钟楼便是您的理想之选。
这座建于16世纪的建筑曾是镇上的中心建筑，主要用作收费站，供市场商贩缴纳税款。此外，市政法院也曾在此开庭，建筑后方还设有一座小型监狱或拘留所。
这座建筑的独特之处在于它由类似木桩的石柱支撑，下方是一个宽敞的开放区域。起初我们以为这可能是由于附近的温德拉什河洪水泛滥造成的，但实际上，下方的开放区域是中世纪的集市。
在中世纪，羊毛在科茨沃尔德地区占据着举足轻重的地位，羊毛商们在此集会，使托尔西博物馆成为羊毛和布匹交易的中心。托尔西大楼位于绵羊街和高街的拐角处绝非偶然。在中世纪，成百上千只珍贵的绵羊被像漏斗一样，沿着狭窄的绵羊街排成一列，涌入集市广场出售。这样便于清点和控制羊群。我们只能想象当时的喧闹和气味。
我们去的时候，一楼正在举办小型集市，让我们得以一窥几个世纪前的运作景象。
如今，楼上是一座小型博物馆（捐赠入场），但开放时间非常有限。夏季每天开放，但仅限下午2点至5点。我们清晨抵达伯福德，希望能避开夏季的人潮，可惜去得太早，博物馆已经关门了。
