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)
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
