Henham in the district of Uttlesford, Essex, England is a small, historic village set among rolling arable farmland and hedgerows in north‑west Essex. It sits within easy reach of Stansted Airport and market towns such as Saffron Walden, and is within commuting distance of London, which gives the village a blend of traditional rural character and commuter households.
The settlement retains a compact centre organised around its parish church and village hall, with several listed buildings and quiet country lanes. The local economy is still largely agricultural alongside small local businesses and residents who travel for work, and community life is shaped by parish activities and occasional village events that reflect the quieter, close‑knit feel typical of Uttlesford villages.
