Extract of Parish Council minutes regarding a proposed well in the Market Square February 1902
Mr. T.Carter on behalf of the Bampton P.C. applied for permission to sink a well in the immediate neighbourhood of the Town Hall between the main road and the highway. It was a piece of waste ground and he believed it did not belong to the highway authority, but as a matter of courtesy the P.C. decided to ask the R.D.C. for permission to dig the well.
