Description

Burford Baptist Church is a non-conformist chapel built in 1804, with restorations completed in 1886 and later. The church is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings. The street-facing side features four round-arched windows. The east gable end has a central double flush-panelled door with a bracketed hood above, flanked by arched windows, and a similar window above, all fitted with small lozenge leaded casements. At the rear, there is a single-storey T-plan wing with glazing bar sash windows. The churchyard is marked by contemporary stone gatepiers, which are lozenge-shaped and capped with ogee designs. Inside, there are reused late 18th-century fielded panels in the gallery at the west end, a late 19th-century pulpit with a shallow arched recess behind the preacher's seat, and an early 17th-century single desk (not in its original location). An 18th-century memorial indicates that an earlier chapel once stood on this site.
