Horse Fair - ponies tied up on Church Green were considered by the vendors to be suitable for pit ponies and the Welsh miners knew to come to this part of Bampton to buy their pit ponies. Here, the ladies and children are inside the church wall away from the horses but able to watch the proceedings. It was an event much enjoyed by all and the ladies and children have got their best hats on.

L to R. Lucy Slatter, Terry Argles, Terry Crowley, all living in Church Street. May, 1997. Lucy Slatter died 2008.
