Previous use as the county court
[edit | edit source]Thame museum was originally built as the town's county court house in 1861. It was bought by Thame Town Council in 2005 to house Thame museum.[3] Today you can still see a coat of arms on the front of the building and a model policeman welcomes you as you enter. The main gallery used to be the main courtroom.
