Description: Bailey’s Quarry is located to the south of Bampton, and south of Windwhistle Lane. Quarrying was an important element of the economy of Bampton, particularly in the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Stone from this quarry is unusual and includes a yellow tint and is vertically striated. The shape of Bailey’s Quarry suggests it was created by local, hand and explosive based quarrying. Quarrying around Bampton is thought to have begun during Roman times.
