~ Petton Chapel, Bampton ~

Not Available
The Chapel was restored in 1848, the notice (Top) is a copy of an original issued before its reopening. The interior picture (above right) hangs on a wall inside the chapel. On the wall behind the pulpit is a plaque in memory of William Merson and his wife Betty and a number of their children, William was the great great grandfather of Martha Merson Frost who kindly provided these photographs.
The chapel recently acquired a beautiful rose window for the front of the building. Nearby is Waterhouse Farm, where the Merson family resided from the late 17th century until the middle of the 19th century. The Chapel was reopened after restoration in 1848.
