TL;DR: Bantham is a small hamlet in the parish of Thurlestone, South Devon, five miles west of the market town of Kingsbridge as mentioned in this paper, and during the summer of 1953, to celebrate the Coronation, the people of Bantham arranged an exhibition of material illustrating their village history.
Abstract: Bantham is a small hamlet in the parish of Thurlestone, South Devon, five miles west of the market town of Kingsbridge. During the summer of 1953, to celebrate the Coronation, the people of Bantham arranged an exhibition of material illustrating their village history. The organizer, Mrs. Clare Fox, asked me to help in identifying some ‘Roman’ pottery and other objects that had been collected from the sand-dunes at the mouth of the river Avon near by, by Mr. H. L. Jenkins of Clanacombe in the late nineteenth century. The finds had been presented subsequently to the Torquay Natural History Society's Museum by Mrs. M. Radcliffe, his daughter-in-law, and were lent by the museum for the Bantham exhibition. The finds were found to include fragments of imported amphorae of Dark Age date, similar to those found at Garranes and Tintage and therefore to merit wider recognition. I am much indebted to Mrs. Fox for guidance to the site and for the history of the discoveries; to the Council and Curator (Mr. A. G. Madden) of the Torquay Museum for the loan of the objects; to Miss Theo Brown for their illustration; to my husband Cyril Fox for help with the map (fig. 5); and to Mr. G. C. Dunning for his description and drawing of the medieval finds.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that social class in Hamlet is not a pre-existing structure that becomes unearthed and located in the empirical truth of economic fact, but instead, class is a never-ending, unstable process of making social distinctions characteristic of the emergent public sphere of the seventeenth century.
Abstract: Throughout Hamlet , Horatio is a figure privileged to interpret, and this privilege emerges in the doubled-edged spectrality of his social position. The justness of his interpretive authority ultimately depends on a class position that does not appear to be a class position at all. Social class in Hamlet consequently is not a pre-existing structure that becomes unearthed and located in the empirical truth of economic fact. Instead, class is a never-ending, unstable process of making social distinctions characteristic of the emergent public sphere of the seventeenth century. Social class in the play always deconstructs itself.
