Clifton Hampden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clifton Hampden is a village located in South Oxfordshire on the River Thames. It forms part of the Henley constituency. The rock group Radiohead used the village hall as a practice room whilst they were at school in nearby Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
Clifton Hampden Bridge was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The village and the Barley Mow public house, just south of the river near the bridge, featured in Jerome K. Jerome's book Three Men in a Boat:
- Round Clifton Hampden, itself a wonderfully pretty village, old-fashioned, peaceful, and dainty with flowers, the river scenery is rich and beautiful. If you stay the night on land at Clifton, you cannot do better than put up at the "Barley Mow."
