UPHAM
Old English 'upper estate' or 'upper hemmed-in land'. The village stands on a rise with noticeable descents on all sides, whilst a typical 'hamm-2b' site falls on 3 sides. This makes the former more likely, therefore hypothetical Old English 'Uppham'.

This UPHAM is the place where Young, who wrote that bombastical stuff, called 'Night Thoughts,' was once the parson, and where, I believe, he was born.
