Religious Buildings
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1840. It is actually in the village of Burdrop, which is part of the parish and contiguous with Sibford Gower. Before 1840, Anglican villagers walked to nearby Swalecliffe for services.
Sibford Gower has a Methodist Church, which is a member of the Chipping Norton and Stow-on-the-Wold Methodist Circuit.
The Religious Society of Friends has a meeting house in Sibford Gower. It was built on land bought for the purpose in 1681 by Bray D'Oyley, Thomas Fardon and Thomas Gilkes.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or buildings:
“It is not woman who claims the highest in man. It is a man’s own religious soul that drives him on beyond women, to his supreme activity. For his highest, man is responsible to God alone.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
