Henham is a former civil parish now in the parish of Wangford with Henham, in the East Suffolk district, in the county of Suffolk, England. In 1961 the parish had a population of 90.^[1] The majority of the parish was covered by Henham Park.^[2]

History[edit]

The name "Henham" means 'High homestead/village'.^[3] Henham was recorded in the Domesday Book as Henham.^[4] At this time Ralph Baynard had the lordship. This subsequently passed to Robert Kerdeston remaining in his family until about 1440. It then passed to the de la Pole family.^[5]

Historically it was in the Blything Hundred and in the Deanery of Dunwich, (Dunwich North for the period 1868 to 1914, when that deanery was administratively divided in three).^[6]

There are some medieval remains of Henham village along with a moat and church located in Tuttles Wood.^[7]

Under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1866 Henham became a civil parish in 1866.^[8] At the same time the hamlet of Wangford also became a distinct civil parish, but without ecclesiastical status.

Abolition[edit]

On 1 April 1987 the parish was abolished and merged with Wangford to form "Wangford with Henham".^[9]
