Since we wouldn’t be able to stop at Highclere Castle during our recent trip to England we stopped at Bampton in Oxfordshire where some filming was done.
The village of Bampton was used for filming outdoor scenes, most notably St. Mary’s Church and the library, which serves as the entrance to the cottage hospital.
This weekend we are going to be having a girls time with daughters, nieces, sisters which includes a Downton Abbey marathon. I’m looking forward to comparing some of the church photos and village photos with what we saw in this quaint village.
I’m looking back today to come up with some photos for Vee’s notecard party. The fall colors are getting more prominent around these parts. How are they shaping up where you are?

Fall is in full colour around here – but leaves are dropping like mad so it won’t be long before bare branches appear.
Love the glimpse into Downton Abbey’s church scenes. A beautiful place. Have fun with your girls’ weekend!
Great Photos and how fun to see the site of Mary’s wedding! That is a darling little village and I heard (in the trailers) how a lot of locals were in the movie. What a great trip!!!
I love church pictures, so much interesting architecture and of course the stained glass is always a treat. I loved the English countryside. Have a great weekend!
A beautiful setting for a wedding! No need to switch to autumn when you have such beautiful photos of England. With our new rules, you could even use three new photos not yet shared.
I simply can’t wait to see season 4. Are you going to be rewatching the last 3 seasons with your “girls”? That is such a great idea – I might have to do that too before January rolls around :). Your pictures are all so beautiful – what an enchanting trip you had.
Yes, Rosella, we are going to be watching seasons 1-3 in anticipation of season 4 in January.
beautiful shots … i’m enjoying being an armchair traveler and enjoying your trip!
Smiling that Judy also poked around movie scenes on her post. Your trip sounded fantastic. I imagine your Mom in heaven enjoying that you were enjoying traveling. Aren’t Mom’s always happiest when their children are happy?
