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:
“It is perhaps the principal admirableness of the Gothic schools of architecture, that they receive the results of the labour of inferior minds; and out of fragments full of imperfection ... raise up a stately and unaccusable whole.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“By 1879, seven churches of various denominations were holding services, which led the local Chronicle to comment, “All have but one religion and one God in common; it is the Crucified Carbonate.””
