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)
“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)
