History
Evidence of early human habitation in the parish includes a tumulus, probably Anglo-Saxon, on a 350 feet (110 m) high hill west of the village.[2] The village's place-name, recorded as Hlæwe in 984, means "tumulus" in Old English.[3] Until the 19th century Lew was a township in the parish of Bampton.[4] It became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1857, called Bampton Lew. The parish was united with Bampton in 1917,[5] and since 1976 has formed part of the benefice of Bampton with Clanfield.[6] Lew was made a separate civil parish in 1866.[7]
Parish church
The Church of England parish church of the Holy Trinity was designed in a 13th-century style by the architect William Wilkinson and built in 1841.
