As you can see the Hams still seem to cluster along the edges of the Somerset Levels which were Tidal.
This map shows the occurrance of villages containing 'HAM' a saxon term we believe originally meant
near to the sea, and in later times near to water. The Ham's appear to surround the Somerset Levels.
Please click here for the previous HAM map which we believe proves that a ham is
a village near water.
