Thame, Market town in South Oxfordshire, England.

The River Thame flows along the northern edge of this commercial center, which extends across 12.67 square kilometers of Oxfordshire countryside.

The Cistercian monks established Thame Abbey in 1138, with the consecration of the abbey church taking place in 1145 before its demolition in the 1500s.

St Mary the Virgin parish church contains a 12th-century font and numerous Gothic architectural elements that showcase medieval craftsmanship and religious heritage.

The town provides regular bus connections to Oxford and Aylesbury, with services operating throughout the day from multiple stops across the settlement.

Colonel John Hampden, a Parliamentary commander during the English Civil War, spent his final hours at a local inn after the Battle of Chalgrove Field.
