Photos of the village
There
was a pre-Christian settlement at Bampton, and it grew further in
Saxon and Norman times. It was mentioned in the Domesday survey, when
it already had a market, famous for its wool trade. In the 17th century,
an important leather trade grew up and Bampton became famous for its
jackets, gloves and breeches.
