Ancient Saxon settlement discovered on Thame development site

THE discovery of an ancient, Saxon settlement on the site where a new football stadium is proposed, has excited Thame historians.
The identification of the historic site on the far side of the town’s Eastern by-pass, means that a team of archaeologists will move in to dig very carefully around the area before building work can begin on Town United’s proposed new football stadium.

The plan, submitted by the Thame Football Partnership, will be considered by the district council’s Planning committee early in April.
