A licence to crenellate was granted to Walter Huwet for 'Estham' in 1369. This has been identified as the manor house at East Ham which was later used as a farmhouse and was demolished in 1899. In fact the Eastham licenced was in Worcestershire.

East Ham Hall stood on what was probably an ancient site, but nothing is known of its early history. There is no evidence that it was ever more than a farm-house. It was rebuilt, probably in the earlier 19th century, as a small plain building of two storeys with a frontage of three bays. It was demolished in 1931 or 1932. (VCH)
