"HANHAM, a hamlet and chapelry in the parish of Bitton, upper division of the hundred of Langley, county Gloucester, 6 miles E. of Bristol, its post town, and 1 mile N.W. of Keynsham. It is situated on the river Avon. Here are flour and copper mills; also extensive quarries of Pennant-stone, in which a portion of the inhabitants are engaged, and which supply paving stone for the cities of Bath and Bristol. The land is chiefly in pasture, and the soil is light. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, value with that of Christ Church, £131, in the patronage of the Vicar of Bitton. Christ Church is a stone structure situated on Jefferies' Hill. It was erected in 1840, and is partially endowed. The Wesleyans and Methodists have each a chapel. Hanham Hall is the principal residence. The Messrs. Whittuck are lords of the manor."
