On her 103rd Birthday, 26th Feb 2025, Joyce Anderson donated this small red book to the Bampton Community Archive. The book is entitled "Oxfordshire" written by F.G. Brabant, M.A. Illustrated by Edmund H. New. First published May 1906. This is the third edition – published 1919. These pdfs are excerpts about Bampton in the book, and the book itself is available in our locked cupboard at the Archive should anyone want to view for reference.
