Hempton is a village in Deddington civil parish about 5 miles (8 km) south of Banbury in Oxfordshire. Hempton is on the B4031 road between Deddington and Chipping Norton, which was a turnpike from 1770 until 1871.[1]
Chapel and church
Hempton has a former nonconformist chapel that is said to have been opened in 1840.[1] It ceased to be used for worship in the 1950s and is now a private house. The Church of England parish church of St. John the Evangelist was completed in 1850[2] or 1851.[1][3] Rev. William Wilson of Over Worton designed the Gothic Revival building[2][3] and funded its construction.[1] The building has Early English style lancet windows and a two-bay north arcade that led to a schoolroom.[2] The church's font is a Norman one from Holy Trinity parish church, Over Worton.[1][2][3] In its early decades St. John's was a licensed but unconsecrated chapel and independent of the Benefice of Deddington,[1] but is now part of the benefice.
Economic and social history
Hempton has a number of cottages that were built late in the 17th or early in the 18th century. Turret Cottage and Middle Corner Cottage are early 18th century,[4] and plaque between them records that they were restored in 1976 with the help of the CPRE Oxfordshire Buildings Preservation Trust Ltd.
