The church of St Mary the Virgin lies at the centre of an ancient parish within an Anglo-Saxon royal estate and on the site of a late Anglo-Saxon minster from 950 or earlier.
For almost a thousand years St Marys has played its part at the centre of the village of Bampton in Oxfordshire, and today it continues to be a vibrant influence within the local community as well as a beautiful centrepiece to the village.
St James the Great Church was built in 1220. It is known for its typical Early English architecture, particularly noted in the chancel arch.
St John's began life as a Norman church, of which the central tower and west wall, with its typical Norman door, remain. After this, its story is one of continual additions and ‘improvements' over the centuries, which makes the history of the building fascinating although quite difficult to read.
