Local History - Hampton-on-the-Hill
|
|
 |
|
|
| Hampton-on-the-Hill is the main hamlet in the parish of Budbrooke. |
| |
| It was the location of Grove Park, a large estate, which
from 1615 belonged to the Dormer family. The house was re-built
about 1830 but has now been demolished. Many of the masters
family worked on the Grove Park estate. |
| |
| See the story of Thomas Masters, the burglar. |
| |
| Hampton-on-the-Hill is also the location of St. Charles Borromeo Roman
Catholic Church constructed in 1812, close to the entrance of the
Grove Park estate. |

There is also a school house established from the will
of Job Maston of Hall Green, Yardley, Worcestershire
(now Birmingham), dated 24th May 1701, (not related as far as
we know). This was one of the earliest elementary
schools and open to all children that wished to attend. |
