Hampnett Summary A quiet Cotswold village near Northleach, boasting a small church with quite remarkable interior Victorian decoration. Hampnett is a very small village up a minor road near Northleach. The village, really little more than a hamlet, is pretty enough, but it is the church that really deserves a visit. The Church The interior of St George's church, Hampnett, is decorated with truly amazing Victorian stencilling. The effect is startling, but it also gives a sense of the kind of colour a medieval church may have had. The stencil work, based on floral themes, was the idea of Rev W. Wiggins, vicar of Hampnett in 1868. The church building itself idates to the Norman period.
