History of Bampton

The Bampton and District Local History Society aims to record and investigate the physical and social history in the Bampton area. Our programme of meetings is primarily focussed on specifically local subjects, with an emphasis on seeking out Bampton's history 'on the ground'. We do undertake specific projects and aim to record them on our website at www.bampton-history.org.uk, as well as build up a physical archive.

Bampton is on the east side of the Lake District near Shap and Penrith in Cumbria, England, UK. Our area primarily includes Bampton, Bampton Grange, Burnbanks,  Butterwick, Knipe and Mardale. Nearby areas include Rosgill, Shap, Swindale, Helton, Whale and Askham.

We have produced two books: "Ploughing in Latin" and "Cast Iron Community". These are available for purchase locally or by mail order as described on the history society website.

Unless otherwise indicated, meetings commence at 7.30 pm and are held in the Bampton Memorial Hall.
See the history society website for the programme of meetings.

Tinclar's Library is sited in Bampton Grange - this is usually open the first Monday evening of every month.
