Hempton is a village in Deddington civil parish about 5 miles (8 km) south of Banbury in Oxfordshire. Hempton is on the B4031 road between Deddington and Chipping Norton, which was a turnpike from 1770 until 1871. [1]
Hempton has a former nonconformist chapel that is said to have been opened in 1840. [1] It ceased to be used for worship in the 1950s and is now a private house. The Church of England parish church of St. John the Evangelist was completed in 1850 [2] or 1851. [1] [3] Rev. William Wilson of Over Worton designed the Gothic Revival building [2] [3] and funded its construction. [1] The building has Early English style lancet windows and a two- bay north arcade that led to a schoolroom. [2] The church's font is a Norman one from Holy Trinity parish church, Over Worton. [1] [2] [3] In its early decades St. John's was a licensed but unconsecrated chapel and independent of the Benefice of Deddington, [1] but is now part of the benefice.
Hempton has a number of cottages that were built late in the 17th or early in the 18th century. Turret Cottage and Middle Corner Cottage are early 18th century, [4] and plaque between them records that they were restored in 1976 with the help of the CPRE Oxfordshire Buildings Preservation Trust Ltd.
