From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Haversham is a village in the Unitary District of Milton Keynes, England. It is situated just to the north of the town of Milton Keynes itself, between Newport Pagnell and Stony Stratford. It is in a low lying area of the Ouse Valley and thus is highly prone to regular floods.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Haefer's homestead'. In the Domesday Book of 1086, when it belonged to the Peverell family, it was listed as Hæfærsham.
The ancient manor in the village, that was fortified in 1304 has largely been pulled down now, but parts of it still remain in a farm house just outside the main village.
