The accompanying map shows the positions of various historic sites of the Village.

1. St. Mary's Church (1) and Church Close formed the heart of the medieval town. The church, on the site of the Anglo-Saxon minster, was formerly dedicated to St. Beornwald, an obscure Anglo-Saxon saint who may have headed the community. In 1069 Leofric, Bishop of Devon gave it, and the rest of his land at Bampton, to the see of Exeter. Herringbone masonry in the base of the tower may be pre-Conquest, but the church was largely rebuilt in the late 12^th century, perhaps after Empress Matilda fortified it against King Stephen. Later remodellings include the spire (13^th century), nave and transepts (early 14^th century), chancel (late 15^th century), and horde chapel (16^th century). The shrine of St. Beornwald is probably in the North transept.
   

2. Cobb House, a former vicarage, rebuilt in 1799.

3. Kilmore House, probably originally built in the 17^th century as a vicarage, and re-modelled in the 19^th century.

4. Churchgate House, built as a vicarage - Bampton had three resident vicars from the 13^th through the 19^th century – during the 18^th century, and extended in the 19^th century.

5. Wood House, built in the 17^th century for the Wood family, and reportedly the scene of hauntings until it was re-roofed in the 19^th century.

6. The Deanery was the manor house for the dean and chapter of Exeter’s Bampton estate, and it was originally let to canons of Exeter, and later local gentry. The house, radically altered since the Middle Ages, retains part of an 11^th or 12 century range at basement level. Most of the windows are 17^th century and later. In the Middle Ages there were extensive farm buildings and a large gateway.

7. Landells, named from the 14^th century Laundels family, marks the line of an early enclosure surrounding the minster precinct. Laundels’ court (or house) stood near here, built in circa 1465.

8. Manor Cottage, built around 1654 took its name from Bampton Manor.

9. Bampton Manor is a post-medieval manor house of the lords of Bampton Deanery manor as lessees of the Exeter see. The central block was rebuilt c.1806 by Edward Whitaker, retaining remodelled 17^th-century wings on either side. The South front and ‘gothick’ porch are 19^th century.

10. New Road was laid out c.1821 at enclosure, and follows the line of a lane which led East to Bampton’s open fields. Broad Street perhaps follows the early boundary around the minster precinct, marking the continuation into Bampton of the Widford-Bampton saltway, linking Bampton with Droitwich (Worcs.) where Bampton had salt rights in 1086.

11. The Elms, incorporating part of a 17^th-century house, has a fine mid-18^th-century front. The North side wall contains a re-used arrow slit from Bampton Castle. The house was a boarding school for girls in the late 19^th century.

12. Waterloo House is early 19^th century.

13. Cheapside, from the old English ceap or market funnels into the market place, which is probably itself 13^th-century.

14. Bell Cottage, in origin, a small, timber-framed, late medieval house with cruck trusses. Such houses were probably common in medieval Bampton before stone became the norm from the 17^th century.

15. Lavender Square, so named in 1826, contains Haytor house, with a pedimented porch on the West side, and was built by the solicitor James Rose in c.1830.

16. Queen (formerly catte) Street, was the site of an unidentified chantry chapel in 1402. The houses include Blackthorn Cottage, a 17^th to 18^th century dwelling.

17. Bampton House on Bushey Row, is early 18^th century, re-modelled c.1800, for the lawyer, John Mander.

18. Numbers 6-10 Bushey Row are probably 18^th century.

19. Converted 18^th-century dovecote on Bushey Row.

20. Lime Tree House, built early 18^th century.

21. Beam Cottage, built on the site of St. Andrew’s chapel ‘of Beme’, and mentioned in the 14^th century. Late Saxon burials, and Saxon, Roman, and Iron Age finds suggest that this was the focus of early Bampton, and it is a distinct possibility that it is from this that the town got its name. The cottage is now surrounded by a modern housing estate.

22. The Grange, on the High Street, was enlarged piecemeal during the 20^th century, but incorporates fragments of a much earlier house.

23. The Baptist Chapel, built in c.1778, was associated with an important chapel at Cote. The building is no longer used as a chapel.

24. The Morris Clown opened as The George in 1811, and was later re-named the New Inn.

25. Grayshott House was built around 1700 for a prosperous maltster and dairy farmer.

26. Market Square is dominated by the Town Hall, built in 1838 by the local builder James Pettifer to a design by George Wilkinson. The groundfloor arcade, which was originally planned as an open market house, was blocked in during the late 19^th century.

27. South of the Market Square, probably on an earlier road-line, stood the medieval house for Bampton Doilly Manor, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Pottery from the 12^th century has been found in the area, but the present buildings are relatively modern.

28. The Talbot Inn, so named in 1668, is named after the lords of the other chief manor, the Earls of Shrewsbury from 1442.

29. The Horse Shoe Inn, rebuilt around 1925 was an inn in 1773.

30. Knapps Farm. The thatched part was built as a timber-framed, late medieval open hall, and has similar characteristics to Bell Cottage.

31. The Methodist Chapel was built in 1892.

32. Ham Court incorporates part of the West gatehouse and curtain wall of Bampton Castle. The castle was built around 1315 by Aylmer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, but was mostly demolished prior to 1789. Aylmer’s father, William, Lord of Bampton, built an earlier hall on this site, and may have been the site of the Anglo-Saxon royal manor house.

33. College Farm, rebuilt around 1700, but incorporating earlier features, was acquired by Jesus College, Oxford, in 1687.

34. Weald Manor, a 17^th-century farmhouse, was re-modelled in grand classical style by the Coxeters, who were landowners and lawyers, around 1742. It acquired its name in the 19^th century, when it was used as a private school for the gentry, and was never actually a manor house.

35. The Gothic-style National School, on Church View, was designed by William Wilkinson in 1864. The datestone of 1871 denotes the transfer of the freehold.

36. The former Grammar School, now the library, was completed in 1653 with money bequeathed in 1635 by Robert Veysey of Chimney. Nearby, until the 19^th century were two malthouses.

37. Thatched Cottage, in Church Street, is another late medieval, timber-framed hall-house, later encased in stone.
