Lew Census 1911

A fascinating and amusing account of the history of The Bampton Weightlifting Club.

Fascinating memories of the village of Lew and the people who have lived there, along with memorable events by Donald Rouse

A general view of agriculture in Oxfordshire carried out in 1807 and published in 1813. Rates, thrashing mills and tillage. Drilling, wheat, beans and tares. Cattle and Labour. Relating to Bampton and its hamlets, Haddon, Weald, Cote, Aston, Lew, Chimney and Shifford. Report is written by Arthur Young and seems to use Mr. Singleton of Bampton as an example of of how things were done.

This map was produce for the sale of the Lew Estate in 1914.
There used to be a Post Office and a school in Lew, both shown on this map between University Farm and Holy Trinity Church on the main road.

These are two parts of one map created in 1914. I've picked them out to show where the school used to be in Lew, next to University Farm and the Post Office a little to the east just before you get to Trinity Church.
