Two certificates awarded to George William Glenister , who worked at Bampton Station, probably as Station Master. He lived with his wife in Church Street in one of the little cottages. It was Mrs. Glenister who was instrumental in introducing Vera Tanner to David Elward at one of the WI Hall dances during the war.
Mr Wheeler from Church street also worked at the station. Mr Maurice John, who lived at the house now named St. Johns in Broad Street, was the last Station Master.
