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:
“We are not a religious people, but we are a nation of politicians. We do not care for the Bible, but we do care for the newspaper. At any meeting of politicians ... how impertinent it would be to quote from the Bible! how pertinent to quote from a newspaper or from the Constitution!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
