Abingdon, historically known as Abingdon-on-Thames, is one of England's oldest continuously inhabited towns, with a rich history dating back to the Saxon era. Located in Oxfordshire, this market town sits on the River Thames and was once dominated by Abingdon Abbey, which was among the wealthiest and most important monasteries in medieval England. After the abbey's dissolution in 1538, the town maintained its significance as a regional center.
Today, Abingdon combines its historical heritage, visible in its architecture and street layout, with a modern identity shaped by its proximity to Oxford and its role in science and technology, particularly due to nearby research facilities. The town maintains several important cultural institutions that help preserve and showcase its heritage, including historic buildings, museums, and traditional events like the Bun Throwing ceremony from the County Hall.
