About
About Thame
Thame ( ) is a market town and civil parish in Oxfordshire, England. It is located about 13 miles (21 km) east of the city of Oxford, 10 miles (16 km) south-west of Aylesbury and 40 miles (64 km) north-west of London.
Habitation at the site dated back to Anglo-Saxon times and there have been finds of jewellery & pottery. In 1940 a couple walking their dog inadvertently discovered "the Thame Hoard" (they were looking for a stone to throw for their dog). Maybe not the largest "Hoard" found in the UK, it comprised of five medieval gold rings and ten silver groats (c.1351 – c.1457) and can be seen today in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
