Community Preservation Bampton

We are a local group working to protect Bampton’s character while supporting sensible, sustainable development.

With over 300 members, we play an active role in local planning matters.

We believe development should be:

• Small-scale • Sustainable • In keeping with Bampton’s character

We are independent, non-political, and funded entirely by our members.

👉 Membership is just £5 per household per year.

In the early 90s, there were plans to build a number houses in the heart of Bampton—on what is now Sandford’s Field.

The SPB was established by Mick Donoughmore to oppose this development.

Thanks to his perserverance and generosity, the development was stopped. Today, Sandford’s Field is:

• Owned by the village

• Used for fetes and events

• Enjoyed by everyone

A reminder that community action can make a lasting difference.
