The total cost of the repairs to the Nave and Chancel Roofs was £410,000. In addition to the large number of donations from local people and those further afield, we received some £115,000 from a wide variety of events arranged by the Fund Committee members. These proved to be highly enjoyable for our community and included: A Raise The Roof Auction of Promises, a Clay Pigeon Shoot, a number of Concerts held in the Church, a talk by a famous local politician, an ‘Antiques Road Show’ held on a glorious summer’s afternoon and a Barn Dance held in Church. Donations from organisations within Bampton included: The Friends of Bampton Church Bampton Parish Council Bampton Community Shop Society for The Protection of Bampton The Junior Church We also received over £230,000 from external sources including: English Heritage The Church Commissioners Oxford Historic Churches Trust The National Churches Trust The Mercers Company Garfield Weston Trust The Pye Trust The Council for The Care of Churches We are most grateful to all our many Donors, without whose support the Roof could not have been repaired
