==History==
According to ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', Haugham derives from "high or chief homestead", from the Old English 'heah' and 'ham'.〔Mills, Anthony David (2003); ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', p. 229, Oxford University Press, revised edition (2011). ISBN 019960908X〕
The place-name is first attested in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086. The priory of Haugham was built upon land granted by Hugh, Earl of Chester, towards the end of the eleventh century, to the Benedictine abbot and convent of St. Severus in the diocese of Coutances.〔(''A History of the County of Lincoln: Volume 2'' (University of London & History of Parliament Trust) )〕 Priors were appointed by the bishops of Lincoln until 1329, this ending owing to wars with France. Subsequently, in 1398, the priory and its possessions were transferred to the Carthusian priory of St Anne at Coventry.〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' p. 159; Methuen & Co. Ltd〕
In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' noted that the lord of the manor and sole landowner of Haugham was Henry Chaplin MP, PC. Haugham consisted of , of which 450 were woodland, with agricultural production as chiefly wheat, barley and oats.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 469〕
