Bampton Archive, originally Bampton Museum, is based in the Vesey Room of the Old Grammar School Building, which many people will recognise from TV – it served as the ‘Hospital’ in the popular TV series Downton Abbey.
As well as housing an extensive archive that includes an impressive collection of old photographs of Bampton and Bampton people, the Archive hosts a number of exhibitions each year. There is also a shop, selling a variety of books, audio CDs, DVDs and cards, including a small selection of Downton Abbey memorabilia including cards, booklets, mugs, pictures and prints.
Open:
Monday to Saturday: 10.30am - 12.30pm and 2pm - 4.30pm
Sunday: 2.30pm - 4.30pm
Please note: Bampton Community Archive is closed for lunch (12.30pm - 2pm)
