A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Bampton Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "The hundred includes seventeen parishes and parts of two others; is bounded by Berks on the south and by Gloucester on the west; and measures about 13 miles by 11½. Acres: 48,188. Population in 1851: 16,539; in 1861: 16,123. Houses: 3,554."
Each of the volumes of the Victoria County History listed below contains, in its introductory chapter, a map of the parishes covered in that volume. These are very legible, but copyrighted. Links to the individual volumes are given under "Research Tips".
