Extract of Parish Council minutes regarding a proposed well in the Market Square February 1902
Mr. T.Carter on behalf of the Bampton P.C. applied for permission to sink a well in the immediate neighbourhood of the Town Hall between the main road and the highway. It was a piece of waste ground and he believed it did not belong to the highway authority, but as a matter of courtesy the P.C. decided to ask the R.D.C. for permission to dig the well.

Mrs Sarah Wearne of Bampton kindly agreed that her account of the history of the Bampton War Memorial published in
Vol 3. No 1 of the Bampton Beam in April 1988 could be reproduced.
Entitled Bampton War Memorial and War Graves, and contains the following information:
References to William Wheeler. Arthur George Martin, Thomas Wells and Sidney Clark, Daniel Skinner, Thomas Gillett, George and William Poole, Thomas and John Wells, James and Charles Cripps. Walter and Alfred Lay, William Morton, Walter Greenfield Lindsey

Lowdown Issue 13 September 2020
The Lowdown started off back in March 2020 as a simple sheet called 'The Bampton Beam Lockdown Lowdown' and consisted of essential information about emergency contacts, Covid- related community activities, and details about the services provided by the wonderful Bampton Aid Network (BAN). – As the first lockdown eased, we dropped 'Lockdown' in the title, increased the pages and greatly expanded the contents.
