Background
History
The name Meas-Ham suggests it was founded in the Saxon period between 350 and 1000 AD. Just before the Norman Conquest of 1066, the village belonged to "Earl Algar". The Domesday Book of 1086 has it belonging directly to the King, as part of a royal estate centred at Repton. Its taxable value was assessed at a mere 2 geld units, containing land for three ploughs, 20 acre of meadow, and a square furlong (10 acre) of woodland.
