Churchgate House

Churchgate House is a former vicarage that has been converted into a house. The main front block was rebuilt in 1799 by Daniel Harris, while the older rear wing features a doorway from the 16th or 17th century. The building was refurbished in the mid-20th century, which included changes to the side windows and the addition of small extensions. It is constructed from coursed rubble limestone with a combination of stone slate and 20th-century tile roofing, along with rubble stone chimneys.

The house is two storeys tall and has a double pile front block consisting of three bays topped with a hipped stone slate roof. The front façade features a projecting plinth, a first-floor band course, and four-pane sash windows with wooden lintels. On the left side of the ground floor, there is an impressive bow projection made of ashlar, which includes two moulded stone steps, a parapet, and three curved full-height sashes, each with three panes. The central entrance is a six-panelled door topped with a radiating fanlight set in a semi-circular arch made of dressed stone, also accessed by two moulded stone steps.

The lower rear wing has a hipped roof covered with 20th-century tiles and altered windows, but the south wall still shows a blocked doorway with a chamfered four-centred stone arch. Inside the front block, there are original moulded ceiling cornices, panelled doors within architrave frames, and window shutters. The dog-leg staircase features stick balusters and may have been repositioned. This house served as the vicarage for the Lew portion of Bampton parish until the mid-19th century when Lew became its own parish. Bampton has been notable since the Middle Ages for having three vicars at one time, with the other vicarages now known as Cobb House and Kilmore House.
