The Meaning of the Name

The name Newham Hall is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word hām, a homestead or village, while the first element appears to represent the new. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ’the new homestead’.

Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Newham Hall.
