Churchyard, Church of St Michael all Angels, Knights Enham
In the 11th century, a village known as Eanham lay to the south-west of the present church. Eanham is probably derived from the word "yean", which is an ancient word for lambing. So Eanham was a place where lambs were bred. Alternatively, the nearby springs may be the origin, as "eans" was the old Celtic word for spring. The Doomsday Book recorded the village as Etham.
