MenuUpham, Wiltshire
Upham is a deserted mediæval village near Aldbourne, Wiltshire. A hollow way approximately 650ft in length marks the main thoroughfare through the settlement. The sides of the hollow way are lined by a series of small enclosures, low platforms and short lengths of trackway which mark the location of buildings. The first documentary reference to the settlement is contained in an Anglo-Saxon charter of AD 955 which names it as Upammere. By 1476 Upper Upham was described as `at farm', suggesting that it had been largely depopulated by this point. In 1599 Richard Goddard built Upper Upham House to the south-east of the hollow way. This appears to have radically changed the layout of the settlement and led finally to the abandonment of the hollow way as a thoroughfare. The site is within the council area of Wiltshire.
