A gem of a church in the heart of the Cotswolds
St John the Baptist的点评
点评：As I was planning my trip to the Cotswolds, one my Friends recommended a visit to the pretty little church located at the bottom of the village and the first thing I did when arriving in Burford was to explore St John the Baptist church and was he right about it as I was simply blown by the beauty of the place as soon as I stepped inside.
The church is located at the bottom of the village near the Windrush river and is accessible by a narrow little street adjacent to High St.
Its construction began in 1175 and was completed in the 15th century as a "wool church" a testament to the town's historical importance in the wool trade.
On 17 May 1649, three soldiers were executed on Oliver Cromwell's orders in Burford Churchyard, whilst the other 300 mens were led onto the roof to watch. The three soldiers belonged to movement popularly known as the Levellers, who believed in civil rights and religious tolerance. There is a plaque commemorating them on the wall of the church and the Levellers Day is still celebrated each year in Burford.
"Woolsack Tombs" can be found in the churchyard with their distinctive semi circular capstone resembling a bale of wool.
Items of interest include a memorial tablet of Henry VIII's barber surgeon Edmund Harman, the ornate canopied tomb of Sir Lawrence & Lady Tanfield as well as the fascinating Turret Clock working pendulum.
Burford Church welcomes 75 000 visitors per year and is one of the 18 churches in England given 5 stars by the National Churches Trust and a must visit when in town !

翻译：当我计划去科茨沃尔德旅行时，我的一个朋友推荐我去参观位于村庄底部的漂亮小教堂，我到达伯福德后做的第一件事就是参观圣约翰浸礼会教堂，他说得对，我一走进去就被这个地方的美丽所震撼。
教堂位于村庄底部的温德拉什河附近，可以通过一条毗邻高街的狭窄小街进入。
它的建造始于 1175 年，并于 15 世纪作为“羊毛教堂”完工，证明了该镇在羊毛贸易中的历史重要性。
1649 年 5 月 17 日，三名士兵按照奥利弗·克伦威尔的命令在伯福德教堂墓地被处决，而其他 300 名士兵则被带到屋顶上观看。这三名士兵属于俗称“平等派”的运动，他们信奉民权和宗教宽容。教堂的墙上有一块纪念他们的牌匾，伯福德每年仍会庆祝平等派日。
教堂院子里有“羊毛袋墓”，其独特的半圆形顶石形似一捆羊毛。
有趣的物品包括亨利八世的理发师外科医生埃德蒙·哈曼的纪念碑、劳伦斯爵士和坦菲尔德夫人华丽的天篷墓以及迷人的塔钟摆。
伯福德教堂每年接待 75,000 名游客，是英国国家教堂信托基金会授予 5 星的 18 座教堂之一，是镇上必游之地！
