Girl Guides and Brownies in Bampton,
img303 A page from The Beam 1991 volume 6 No3 about the Girl Guides in Bampton. It gives the history of the Girl Guide movement. There is a rather dark picture of Mrs Bullen (wife of Dr Bullen of Bampton) and Mrs Ewings meeting Lady Baden Powell at a Guide Rally. It is thought that the “Bampton Guide and Brownie packs were formed in 1949 by Mrs Margery Bullen who ran them for ten years with the help of Mrs Ewings and Eileen Graham. Mrs Jean Gascoigne took over the Guides in 1964 and was their leader until 1978. Mrs
Meg Daley has been running the Brownies for the past few years assisted by Miss Elizabeth Tanner who was Lieutenant of the Guides before that. Mrs Mavis Clack and the late Mrs Margaret Wythes were Brown Owl and Tawny Owl in the 1970s
and before that, Mrs Ham, Mrs Dora Ewings and Mrs Lynne Barber ran the 1st Bampton Brownies.” In 1950 at the Remembrance Sunday Ann Spurrett, Dinah Dafter (colour bearer) and Barbara Green represented the Brownies.
The field picture is taken in 1962 at guide camp in Saundersfoot, Wales, the girl looking at the camera is Janet Westman (nee Bradley) and the rest of the girls are Witney Guides, including Margaret King and Doreen Curtis.

This ledger is 130 pages of wages for employees at North Street Farm, Aston,
AE Townsend was employer, and listed each week were Albert Fox, P Dewe, J Dewe, K Dewe and Mrs Harris.
Note from Margaret Josephs 2023 the sender of the ledger
North Street Farm, Aston, stood on the Witney edge of the village and comprised the farmhouse and adjoining cottage, duckpond, or¬ chard and lovely walled vegetable garden, together with farmland. A small development of designer houses now occupy the site.
The farm was owned by three generations of the Townsend family and Mollie, granddaughter of the original owner, was my Godmother. Family lore says that he bought the farm with money made in the South African diamond mines, but as with all family tales, I have no idea if that is true.
My great-grandparents, Thomas and Amelia Fox, both buried in Aston churchyard, lived in a labourer’s cottage in the market Square, where modem houses now stand. Water came from the well and at the end of the garden, through the chicken run was a Cotswold privy. As a child I hated going through the run as they all rushed towards you clucking madly, hoping to be fed. I’m still not fond of chickens!
Great Uncle Albert lived with my great-grandparents, working as a labourer on the farm, and is the A. Fox in the accounts book. For at least 20 years Mollie and Uncle Albert were a couple and part of the family until Bob Powell arrived on the scene from the North of Eng¬ land. How he originally connected with Mollie I don’t know as by then I was married and away from home. I only heard second hand about the rows that caused, but Mollie married Bob and became Mrs Powell.
My contact with Mollie was limited for some years, but when I moved to Bampton in 1994 we spent some happy times re-connecting until she died in her 90s. I salvaged the accounts book, diligently kept by Mollie in her handwriting, from her effects, ( Mollie kept every¬ thing) hoping it might be of local interest and as a record of bygone times for agricultural workers.
