Bernard Dafter, circa the mid 1980s, New Jersey USA. Bernard's family came originally from Cricklade, where his family had lived since the 1700s. Just after Bernard was born, his family moved to Bampton. His father had been a farm manager in Cricklade and it is thought that he moved to Bampton to manage Home Farm, which was later purchased by the Rouse family. Bernard's brother George was much loved in Bampton being involved in Bampton Town football. Most will remember him as the village postman. In 1937 when Bernard was living in one of the cottages- since demolished- in Lavender Square, he married Phyllis Silman from Black Bourton. They later emigrated to Canada although Bernard still made trips home to Bampton.
