Thame Abbey, Medieval Cistercian abbey ruins in Thame, United Kingdom
The remaining structures of Thame Abbey include two wings built during the Tudor period, now incorporated into a residential country house called Thame Park.
Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, established Thame Abbey in 1138, which operated until its closure in 1539 during Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries.
The abbey's Gothic architecture reflects medieval religious practices, with the monastery serving as a center for Cistercian monastic life in Oxfordshire.
The former abbey grounds, located at coordinates 51.7279, -0.963279, maintain structures that received protected monument status in 1951.
The monastery initially started at Otteley before moving to its permanent location, where it became known as Sancte Marie de Parco Thame.
