Miss Dorothy (Dor) Graeme Thomson lived in Cheyne Lane. She ran an excellent organic vegetable garden after the war when she and Kate Wylie lived in Beam Cottage (it was not surrounded by houses then). She was a county councillor, president of the West Oxfordshire Arts Association and chairman of school governors. She is talking with Norman Gregory who married Merle Hobbs who taught several generations of children in Bampton. They moved to Henley-in-Arden. Norman was a churchwarden.
Bampton had a brass band in the very early days of the twentieth century. The picture of them playing outside the Town Hall, taken in 1908 was kindly lent to the Archive by Barbara Daw.
December 17th 1902 in aid of The Foresters' Brass Band.
