A poster page from the 1985 exhibition of 350 years of Bampton, which was really to celebrate 350 of the old grammar school in Church View. The poster shows Francis Shergold's Morris side dancing in the Deanery garden with St Mary's in the background. The picture was taken in 1956
This picture must have been taken some time between 1926 and 1938 because that was the period when Bertie Clark, seen here on the fiddle, played in Bampton.
