HistoryThe toponym comes from the Old English for "Bada's farm".[1] The Domesday Book records that in 1086 Ghilo de Picquigny held the manor of Bainton.[1] In 1279 Bainton had 17 households.[1] In 1316 18 villagers were assessed to pay tax but by 1520 the figure had fallen to five.[1] By the 1950s Bainton comprised only four farmhouses and a cottage.[1] In 1530 the manor was sold to Edward Peckham, cofferer to Henry VIII and John Williams, later 1st Baron Williams de Thame.[1] In 1613 Edward Ewer of Bucknell sold the manor to Sir William Cope, 2nd Baronet of Hanwell for £5,300.[1] A legal dispute between them ensued, which ended with Ewer recovering the manor in 1628.[1] The Ewer family could not afford to keep Bainton, and sold the manor again in 1637.[1] By the middle of the 17th century Bainton had been converted from arable farming to pasture.[1] This required less labour so the hamlet became depopulated.[1] Bainton Manor Farm is a coursed rubblestone house.[1] It was constructed in either the latter part of the 16th or earlier part of the 17th century,[1] during the Great Rebuilding of England, originally as the manor house.[1] In 1783 John Warde, founder and first Master of the Bicester Hunt,[2] was using it as a hunting-box, Joseph Bullock of Caversfield had bought the manor and the two men together built stables and kennels there.[1] {{convert|330|yd|m}} northwest of the hamlet an obelisk marks the grave of a favourite foxhound.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=789}} References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Lobel, 1959, pages 312–323 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bicesterhunt.co.uk/location&history.html |work=Bicester Hunt with Whaddon Chase |title=Location and History |date= |accessdate= |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101210093200/http://www.bicesterhunt.co.uk/location%26history.html |archivedate=10 December 2010 |df=dmy-all }} Sources
