Excavation in 1857\u201358 found 54 burials, 10 cremation burials and a wide range grave goods, which are now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.[2] Notable artefacts found include an iron sword with a gilt scabbard and an ornate gilt brooch.[3] Since then set of six burials was found at Malthouse Farm in 1892,[3] and the burial of a child was found in 1949.History[edit]Brighthampton’s toponym means Beorhthelm’s t\u016bn.[1] In the 10th century it was part of the royal manor of Bampton, and in 984 \u00c6thelred II gave land at Brighthampton to one of his ministers.[5] The Domesday Book records that in 1086 William the Conqueror’s half-brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux was Brighthampton’s feudal overlord.[5] However, William I imprisoned Odo from 1082 until 1087 and confiscated his lands. In 1131 Henry I granted land at Brighthampton to S\u00e9es Priory in Normandy.[5] This is likely to have been the same land that William I had confiscated from Odo.[5] At the same time Henry granted land at Hardwick to the same priory, and these together became a single manor of Hardwick and Brighthampton.[5]  There is a record from early in the 17th century of Brighthampton having a stone cross, and in 1857 it was recorded that there was still the base of an “ancient” stone cross (presumably medieval) at the hamlet’s central crossroads.[1]Historic buildings[edit]Forge Cottage is a 16th-century timber-framed building supported by a central cruck.[1] By 1776 it was trading as a public house, the Red Lion.[1] Another pub in Brighthampton, the Golden Balls, had been licensed by 1753.[1] It was rebuilt early in the 20th century, ceased trading in 1992 and was demolished in 1994.[1]  The farmhouse of Manor Farm (also called Florey’s Farm) is of Cotswold stone and was built early in the 17th century.[1] It was extended in the middle of the 17th century and again in the 19th century.[1]  Manor Farmhouse, BrighthamptonBaptist chapel[edit]A few families of nonconformists were recorded in the parish in the latter part of the 17th century, and in the 18th century several local families were Anabaptists who attended a chapel in Cote.[6] A Baptist chapel was built between Brighthampton and Standlake in 1832, flourished in the 1840s and 50’s and a gallery was added to increase capacity in 1865.[6] In the 20th century falling attendances led to services being discontinued in 1937, but they were resumed in 1951.[6] The chapel finally closed in 1978 and in 1994 it was serving as the offices of a missionary society.[6] It is now a private house.[7]References[edit]Sources and further reading[edit]Atkinson, R.J.C.; Kirk, J.R.
