Bampton, also called Bampton-in-the-Bush, is a settlement and civil parish in the Thames Valley about southwest of Witney in Oxfordshire. The parish includes the hamlet of Weald. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 2,564. Bampton is variously referred to as both a town and a village. The Domesday Book recorded that it was a market town by 1086. It continued as such until the 1890s.〔(Crossley & Currie 1996, pp. 31–43 )〕 It has both a Town Hall and a Village Hall. The core of Bampton is on gravel terraces formed of Summertown-Radley or Flood Plain Terrace deposits.〔(Crossley & Currie 1996, pp. 6–8 )〕 ==History== The Bampton area has been settled since Iron Age and Roman times. The earliest settlement was probably somewhat to the east of the centre of Bampton today, the triangular space known as Market Square. Bampton was an important place in the Saxon and Middle Ages.〔(Crossley & Currie 1996, pages 6–62 )〕 United States troops were billeted in Bampton at various times during the Second World War. Bampton is used for outdoor filming of the fictional village of Downton, North Yorkshire in ITV's period drama TV series ''Downton Abbey''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bampton, Oxfordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
