HAM HAW, or HAM HOUSE, a quondam seat on the N border of Surrey; near the confluence of the Wey and the Thames, in the vicinity of Weybridge. It belonged to the Howards; was given, by James II., to Catherine Sedley; and passed to the Earl of Portmore. It was suffered, some time ago, to pass into decay and neglect; and it has completely disappeared; but some fine old cedars which adorned its grounds still remain.
