Gothic Churches
Burton sometimes worked in a Gothic style, using it for the rebuilding of the church of St Mary at Goring-by-Sea and at Holy Trinity, Eastbourne, and St Augustine, Flimwell (1839). Ian Nairm described Burton's Gothic churches as "disappointingly limp".

Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or churches:
“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
The air is full of children, statues, roofs
And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
