:For the town of the same name in Devon see BamptonBampton, also called Bampton-in-the-Bush, is a village and civil parish in the Thames Valley about 4.5 mi (7.2 km) southwest of Witney in Oxfordshire. The parish includes the hamlet of Weald.

Bampton is sometimes described as a town, perhaps because it was a market town until the 19th century. It has both a Town Hall and a Village Hall.

The core of Bampton is sited on gravel terraces composed of Summertown-Radley or Flood Plain Terrace deposits.
