HOUGHAM, (Kent) near Dover, was anciently the seat of a family of that name, but it came by marriage to the Herons, one of whom sold it to Phineux, in which name it continued many generations. Little-Hougham, another manor just by it, was formerly the property of the Bassings, who held it to the R. of Hen. VI. and then conveyed it to the Clives, from whom it passed through the heirs of Hextal and Whetenhal to John Bois, Esq;.
