| Bampton Hundred is a small hundred following the central area of Devon's border with Somerset. It is #2 on the map.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Bampton from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "BAMPTON, a small town, a parish, a subdistrict, and a hundred, in Devon. The town stands in a vale, on the rivulet Batherne, about a mile above its influx to the Exe, 7 miles N of Tiverton [railway] station....The hundred contains seven parishes; and is noted principally for its quarries of limestone, and its fine breed of sheep. Acres: 28,757. Population: 6,628. Houses: 1,360."
GENUKI provides a further description from White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Devonshire of 1850.
