In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Henham like this:
HENHAM, a hamlet in Wangford parish, Suffolk; 4 miles E of Halesworth. Acres, 1, 752. Real property, £1, 995. Pop., 161. Houses, 26. The manor belonged formerly to the Hoptons, and belongs now to the Earl of Stradbroke. Henham Hall, the Earl's seat, was built, in 1797, by James Wyatt; occupies the site of a previous mansion, burnt in 1773; and stands in an extensive wellwooded park. The hamlet forms a curacy with Wangford.
