Oxford and Oxfordshire: filming locations of 2 productions

EXT. BAMPTON – BAMPTON

Bampton

as Downton village

St Mary's church is the church of the weddings and funerals; the old grammar school by the churchyard is the cottage hospital; Churchgate House opposite is Isobel Crawley's; the village square and the Downton pub scenes are on Church View.

NOTEThe archive sells a map of the exact spots, 'The Downton Mile'; proceeds go to the archive.

EXT. COGGES MANOR FARM – WITNEY

Cogges Manor Farm

as Yew Tree Farm

The Drewes' farm where Marigold is placed in series five and where Mrs Patmore's pigs live.

INT. CHRIST CHURCH, OXFORD – OXFORD

Christ Church, Oxford

as The Hogwarts staircase and the model for the Great Hall

The stone staircase to the dining hall is where McGonagall greets the first-years in Philosopher's Stone; the Bodley Tower staircase appears again in Chamber of Secrets. The college hall was measured and copied for the Great Hall set – it was never filmed in.

NOTEGo straight to the staircase before the hall opens – most visitors head for the hall first, and the staircase is the shot everyone wants.
