Our Heritage
The magnificent church of St. John the Baptist, Burford, of almost cathedral-like proportions was built from around 1175 and is described in Simon Jenkins' book "England's Thousand Best Churches" as the "queen of Oxfordshire, a paragon and museum of the English Parish Church". It is overflowing with beautiful artefacts and fascinating stories of history. Come and see Our Heritage for yourselves.
