Mrs Bliss, widow of Colonel Bliss, spent her remaing days at Bampton House. Percy Bowerman was her chauffeur and would drive her around the village in her green Morris Minor. When she died, Percy inherited the Morris Minor.

These photos show a selection of businesses that are no longer available to the residents: Angela John Antiques, Health Matters, Barclays Bank, John Temple’s Hardware Shop, The Market Square Garage and Showroom where can be seen the clock that originally graced the Town Hall and The Farmhouse Pantry which had previously been a boutique and before that Mr Money ran his shoe maker and repair shop from that premises.

This shop was originally the premises of Mr Money, Boot and Shoemaker in the High Street. After Mr. Money's retirement, Mrs Francis Henley rented the shop for her daughter , Hazel, to run as a boutique. It was later rented by Mona Wilkins whose daughter also ran it as a boutique. It was finally run by Julia Rouse, daughter of Don and Mary, as The Farmhouse Pantry .
