About Thame

Thame breathes the gentle rhythm of a market town, its geography shaped by the meandering River Thame and the fertile soils of the Oxfordshire countryside. It lies 10.5 km west-north-west of Princes Risborough (from Princes Risborough: bearing 285°T, OS grid SP 705 059), and is situated north-east of Moreton village. Historically, Thame has prospered as a hub for agriculture and trade, its market square a constant testament to centuries of commerce, the air still carrying a faint, pleasant scent of produce and local craft. The surrounding landscape, a pleasing tapestry of hedgerows and arable fields, offers a quiet beauty, its light often possessing a soft, buttery quality in the late afternoon sun. The cultural character of Thame is perhaps best embodied by its enduring market traditions and the warm reception offered to visitors. A notable landmark is the magnificent St. Mary's Church, its soaring spire a beacon against the broad English sky, a structure that has witnessed generations of Thame's unfolding story. Though not a university town, the presence of excellent local schools contributes to a vibrant community spirit, fostering a sense of continuity. Famous individuals, such as the acclaimed actor and comedian Hugh Grant, have connections to Thame, adding a touch of wider renown to its local charm and the simple pleasure of a walk through its well-kept streets.
