Burford Methodist Church, Protestant church in Burford, England
Description
Burford Methodist Church is a Methodist place of worship built in English Baroque style, located on the town's main street. The front shows five bays separated by fluted pilasters topped with Corinthian capitals, and the interior contains one large meeting space designed to hold many people.
History
The building was constructed as a private house between 1715 and 1730 and converted into a Methodist chapel in 1849 through major renovations. This change shows how the Methodist movement grew and spread across England.
Culture
The congregation uses the space for worship and community gatherings, with simple Methodist traditions visible in how the interior is arranged. The place has become a focal point for visitors interested in understanding the Methodist movement's roots in the area.
Practical
The building sits on the high street in central Burford and includes modern facilities such as a kitchen and restrooms for visitors. Check ahead before visiting, as it remains an active place of worship with regular community use.

During the conversion into a church, the upper two floors were joined together into one massive open hall. A large interior balcony was added to create extra seating and fit more people into the space.
