Church of St John the Baptist, Burford, Medieval church in Burford, England.
The Church of St John the Baptist features a central tower, cruciform layout, and five-bay nave with chapels on both northern and southern sides.
The church, constructed around 1150, served as a temporary prison for members of the Levellers movement during the English Civil War in 1649.
