The Church of Bampton is the parish in Oxfordshire. Originally a Saxon minister, the present building dates primarily from the 12th century and is exceptionally large for a parish church. It has an attractive 13th-century spire and interesting Romanesque decorations.
Bampton's parish church existed even before the Norman conquest, when most of England's parish churches were built. Originally an Anglo-Saxon minister church, in 1069, the church was given by King William I to the Exeter Cathedral (home of the king's personal bishop).
