Abstract:		 A building assessment was requested of the Grade II listed building at 34 Upper High Street, Thame. The building is part of a property whose structural history was investigated in the 1970's and published in Oxoniensia in 1980. That study took place after the rediscovery in 1968 of wall and ceiling paintings in one of the upper rooms of the building. It proved to be one of the principal chambers in a mid 16th century house consisting of a two-bay cross-wing and a four-bay hall. The paintings, which were removed to the Oxford City and County Museum in 1972, survived above an inserted attic floor. They were in Renaissance style and dated to the third quarter of the 16th century, probably contemporary with the rest of the building. A short length of frieze remains; this was discovered in 1977 when the room was restored and the inserted ceiling removed. During the current modernisation of the office accommodation a concrete block partition wall and other modern finishes were removed from the front rooms on the ground floor to expose the junction between two separate timber-framed units. The analysis of the recently exposed fabric has reversed the structural sequence proposed in Oxoniensia. Rather than being a late 17th century addition, the jettied range to the south-east is earlier than the mid 16th century house and probably dates to the 15th century.
