15th May 2025
On Thursday 15th May Thame Mayor, Andy Gilbert, was present at the launch of the Cavalier and Roundhead Route – a new Public Art Trail for Thame. The trail provides a fun and informative way to engage with the town’s historic involvement in the English Civil War. The trail’s implementation will also include signage to help walkers to find their way through Lea Park – the estate on the northern edge of Thame, which is wholly named after people and battles that formed part of this history. This will be installed over the coming weeks.
