England ‘s Past for Everyone is a Victoria County History project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Professional historians are working with volunteers to bring local history to life, producing EPE books, interactive websites, and materials for schools. The Oxfordshire EPE projects are looking at the medieval market towns of Burford and Henley-on-Thames.
On this website you can:
- Explore the history, buildings and people of Burford and Henley-on-Thames
- read wills transcripts for Burford and Henley
- find out about our publications and schools projects
- link to VCH work on the Henley area on the VCH Oxfordshire website

History isn’t just about the dim and distant past, it’s happening right now. This is your chance to get involved in the life story of your community.
