Stadhampton is a village and civil parish near Wallingford, in South Oxfordshire. The parish sits about 9 miles from Oxford. It includes the four villages of Stadhampton, Chiselhampton, Brookhampton, and Ascott. Originally called 'Stadham' the village grew from an agricultural community. The addition of the 'ton' to the village name is thought to be influenced by the nearby villages of Chiselhampton and Brookhampton. The parish church of St John the Baptist dates back to the 13th century. Three pub-restaurants are located in the parish, The Crown dating from 1720, on the main A329 road, The Crazy Bear Hotel in Bear Lane, and The Coach & Horses Inn on the River Thame at Chiselhampton. Stadhampton also has a village store and post office located at the petrol station. Ascott Park once housed a large house and gardens owned by the Dormer family, rebuilt in 1660 by Sir William Dormer, but burnt down in 1662 before completion, with nothing now remaining. In the parkland are the remnants of a great formal layout with avenues of lime trees. Two small octagonal buildings remain, one once an ice house and the other a dovecote. There are water mills in Stadhampton and 2 miles east in Charlgrove village.
