Burford Lodge was built c1814 most probably as an elegant country residence for a local businessman and was the first property to be built alongside what was then a new road. By 1844 it was The Bird’s Nest public house and in 1864 became The Oxford. Soon afterwards called Oxford House it was the private residence of Thomas Henry Reynolds who wrote hymns edited a hymn book and was financially involved in the Burford brewery and a number of local utilities. He renamed the house High View and this name remained when c1930 it was once more converted to trade as The High View Private Hotel. Later the liberally-minded Sharpe family conservationists musicians and naturists operated The High View as a bed and breakfast establishment with a caravan site attached. Their business continued until the 1960s after which it was known for a while as The Winter’s Tale.
