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:
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
