The house referred to as Prebendal House, or just 'The Prebendal', has a reputation in Thame as a place of mystery and intrigue.
The house had its origins in the 12th-century when the Bishop of Lincoln had it built to house his prebendary.
The building was home to an order of prebendal monks in the 13th-century and was under church ownership until the early 19th-century.
By this time it had fallen into disrepair and was sold to one Charles Stone, a local man of some considerable wealth, who rebuilt the property as a private residence.
The house has changed ownership many times since, and a number of legends have sprung up about the property.
