Place:Thame Hundred, Oxfordshire, England

Thame Hundred is in the southeast corner of the county of Oxfordshire along with the hundreds of Dorchester, Ewelme, Lewknor, Langtree, Binfield and Pyrton. As the map shows, the Hundred is divided into two parts with one detached parish in between. The detached parish is Albury and it was a part of the much larger Bullingdon Hundred that covered the area up to Oxford to the north. A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Thame Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72: "The hundred contains 5 parishes, and a part. Acres: 10,580. Population: 4,949. Houses: 1,025. "
