EspañolHAM, LONDON
(Redirected from Ham, London, England)
'Ham' is a place in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames on the River Thames. Its name derives from the Old English word ''Hamme'' meaning ''place in the bend in the river''. Together with Petersham, Ham lies to the east of the bend in the river south of Richmond and north of Kingston. It is connected to Teddington by a pedestrian footbridge at Teddington Lock and, during the summer months a pedestrian ferry links to Marble Hill House, Twickenham. Neighbouring settlements include: Petersham; Richmond; Twickenham; and Teddington.
Ham appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Estreham''. It was held by Haimo the Sheriff (of Kent) from Chertsey Abbey. Its domesday assets were: 1 plough. It rendered £1.[1]
Ham's eastern boundary is formed by Richmond Park. When the park was enclosed by Charles I in 1637, Ham parish lost the most of the affected parishes, over 800 acres (3.2 km²) stretching towards Robin Hood Gate and Kingston Hill, almost half of which was Common land. In return for this, a deed was struck which has effectively protected most of the remaining common land, Ham Common, to the present day.
Situated between the Royal Courts at Richmond and Hampton Court, the predominantly agricultural area developed from the beginning of the 17th Century, dominated by Ham House, the best preserved survivor of the period.
