History

Evidence of early human habitation in the parish includes a tumulus, probably Anglo-Saxon, on a {{convert|350|ft}} high hill west of the village.[2] The name of the village, recorded as Hlæwe in 984, means "tumulus" in Old English.{{sfn|Mills|Room|2003|p=not cited}}

Until the 19th century Lew was a township in the parish of Bampton.[3] It became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1857, known as Bampton Lew. The parish was united with Bampton in 1917,[4] and since 1976 has formed part of the benefice of Bampton with Clanfield.[5]

Lew was made a separate civil parish in 1866.[6]

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.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|pp=682–683}}
