Description: Bampton Wood Quarry is located to the south of Bampton between the B3227 and Windwhistle Lane. Quarrying was an important element of the economy of Bampton, particularly in the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Local stone, a pinkish grey colour, has been used in many of the buildings of Bampton, including the Church and bridges, and lime was produced in the local lime kilns to create mortar. Quarrying around Bampton is thought to have begun during Roman times.
