Calendars

Calendars is a house dating from the late 15th century, which underwent restoration between 1912 and 1928. The building features an ashlar ground floor, partly set on a moulded plinth, with a jettied and timber-framed first floor, topped by a Cotswold stone roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with a 20th-century chimney on the left and a simple dormer on the right.

On the first floor, there are two windows with close-studded frames, both glazing-bar sashes; the right-hand window jetties further out and likely had a gable, with a moulded bressumer above. There is also a Tudor-arch-headed light on the west return. The ground floor features a deep hollow-chamfer window on the right, which has early 19th-century 30-pane Yorkshire sashes inserted, and an angled bay on the left with small-pane windows.

A roughly central Tudor arch doorway is set in a deep hollow-chamfer surround with inner moulding and panelled spandrels, leading to a half-glazed early to mid-19th-century door. To the right of the central jetty beams is a small window, and there is a heavy stone corbel and rib of stone to the left. The ridge of the jettied section is higher than the right-hand structural wall and the matching bay to the left. At the rear, there is a jettied L-plan extension with a cross-wing facing the courtyard.

The interior has been altered, but features a moulded cross-beam ceiling in the west part of the ground floor. It is believed that this building served as Burford's Gild Room before The Tolsey.
