Thame

Thame is a market town that has grown out of a rich Anglo Saxon and ecclesiastical history, situated in The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. While time has changed the transport links and facilities it enjoys, the character of the town centre remains characterful with ancient buildings, as well as many beautiful new builds.

Visit the beautiful Thame Park, where the house incorporates parts of the dissolved Thame Abbey with an interior that boasts one of the earliest English examples of the Italian renaissance. See the parish church of St. Mary, thought to be on the site of the first Christian church. Then start making your own history by moving into your own new home in Thame.

Excellent sports and schools

As well as wide open spaces and plenty of biking and walking on the Phoenix Trail in the surrounding countryside, the town also benefits from a tennis club, leisure centre and even cricket on the local church green. There’s also a playcentre, skatepark and children’s cinema.
