Adrian Simmonds' collection of items donated by Carol Langley. Adrian had a shop in the Market Square.
Janet Newman thinks the date is more likely to be 1916. William (Bill) Lock's
building company were doing lots of building work in Bampton at that time.
Charlie Lay (1895) was a stone mason living at Mill Green. He was the father of
Alfred Lay and Walter Lay, both of whom died in WW1 and commemorated on
the War Memorial. He was father of Ted Lay who was married to Ruth Pocock,
sister of Harry Pocock. Fred Lay (1897) was also Charlie's son. Thomas Dipper
(1850) was a bricklayer and lived in Mill Street. The only one I'm not sure about
is H. Lock. William's brother Herbert had worked on the building with his brother
but emigrated to Canada, returning to Bampton to marry, Marjorie in 1918, only
to be killed at Aulnoy, in France a few months later. It's possible that H. Lock
could have been a relative of William (Bill
