Upper Upham is a hamlet and deserted medieval village in the civil parish of Aldbourne in the English county of Wiltshire. Its nearest town is Marlborough, which lies approximately 5.6 miles (9.0 km) to the south-west; the hamlet is reached by a narrow lane off the B4192 Aldbourne-Swindon road.
To the northwest of the hamlet are extensive remains of a medieval village, with a hollow way, house platforms and evidence of agriculture. The settlement is first documented as Upammere in a charter of 955, and by 1201 its name had become Upham. There were 40 taxpayers in 1377 but the population dwindled in the 15th and 16th centuries.[1]
The manor was held by Lacock Abbey from around 1249 until the Dissolution. In 1540 it was purchased by John Goddard (died 1557), and remained in the Goddard family until sometime before the early 18th century.[2] Aldbourne parish church has a memorial brass dated 1495 to an earlier Richard Goddard of Upham and his wife, and the church tower was erected in 1460 by either the same person or another of the same name.[3]
Lower Upham is further west and has a farm and a pair of cottages; the lane between the two Uphams is now a farm track.
