Last week we said our farewells to Bampton, the town that has ‘played’ the village of Downton for six years. Its Old Grammar School, the hospital in our show, is in need of repair. We’ve made a donation to the Bampton Appeal, which you can read more about here.

We’re now into the last two weeks of filming Downton Abbey, so here are a few pics of the #lastdaysofdownton…

A few of the 40 or so people who have worked on every single episode:

Joe Wilmott (Carpenter) and Charlie Johnson (Prop Storeman) #lastdaysofdownton

and, a dab hand at daubing…

Mark Kebby (Supervising Art Director) #lastdaysofdownton

And joining us for the final series, the man with the cufflinks…

Finn McCleave (Costume) #lastdaysofdownton

And finally, a particularly tasty scene…
