A Tapestry of Buildings
Bampton Heritage & Visitor Centre, Station Road, Bampton, Devon, EX16 9NG
Although a small town, Bampton’s Architecture is varied and spans many architectural fashions. Our exhibition of the buildings and the Church is a journey through Bampton's built environment.
Our special display showing some of Bampton's most important buildings and their history will be on show in one of its oldest buildings, the 13th-century church. There will also be an exhibition and tour revealing the intriguing structural and design changes in response to the times, ecclesiastical fashion and social need.
You will be able to see a display of architectural drawings of the church through the years.
We will also be running an art trail led by a local artist. This is your chance to join a sketching group and draw some of Bampton's historic buildings yourself. Suitable for all abilities from beginners to more experienced artists. These trails will be on Thursday 18th & Saturday 20th from 10.30 am to 1 pm. Booking for this is necessary - email [email protected] for more information.
