Another day on the set of Downton Abbey

Filming took place again this week in Bampton, Oxfordshire, for some village scene for Downton Abbey season 4.  Since it is only 20 minutes away, I had to go and watch for a while. It is fun to see the little town of Bampton transformed into the town of Downton again.  It helps that Bampton is so charming to begin with. 




The umbrellas are used to shield the actors from the prying lenses and of gawkers and paparazzi.  

There are two new stones  in the graveyard.  One is Matthew's and the other is Sybil's.

It doesn't take much to make Bampton look like Downton in the 1920s.


There is such attention to detail -- even the posts on the notice board look authentic.
