History

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

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