St Mary the Virgin, Bampton
The church lies at the centre of what was traditionally the largest parish in Oxfordshire. There was a late Saxon church at Bampton although only surviving part of the Saxon building is the lower section of the west tower, where traditional Saxon herringbone stonework can be seen. The present appearance of the church is largely a result of a re-modelling of 1270, when the spire was built and the aisles were added.

Bampton Library (formerly Free Grammar School) (1), Church View, Bampton, Oxon
The building now houses Bampton Library, operated by Oxfordshire County Council. It is also home to the Bampton Archive, a registered charity, which has a collection of documents, photographs and audio and video recordings relating to the village and its inhabitants. A shop and exhibition space are in the Robert Vesey Room, which is shared with West Ox Arts.
The building was constructed with money left by Robert Vesey, a wealthy local merchant, in his Will for the provision of a school. The first schoolmaster was appointed in 1653. The first floor, at present, is too dangerous to use. The current roof, made of Cotswold stone. was last repaired in 1911! The Archive are trying to raise funds for repairs to the building. It is Grade II listed.
The building is used in the television fictional series "Downton Abbey" where it appears as "Downton Cottage Hospital".
