My Home 1962
I was born in Bampton in 1957, my family moved away to Dunstable to give us a start in life. I have always and always will reguard Bampton as my home. I visit when I can which is about once a year. I walk around the village which brings back lots of memories. The times I remember are of going to the fields in May to get wild flowers to make a garland to take around on the spring bank holidays, also watching the Morris Dancers and the shirt race. I will never forget my childhood at Bampton. I will always class it as my home.

RE: RE: My Home 1962
I am looking for any info on the Dewe family who appear to have lived around Bampton, or certainly Oxfordshire, as far back as the 1500s or before. I am a descendent of Gertrude Annie Dewe, who would have lived in Bampton around 1890 - 1910. I believe the famly lived in Lavender Square, Bampton. Any info would be so greatly appreciated.
