Eastham in Pictures

Eastham is a village and a ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside, England. Historically (until 1974), it was part of Cheshire. Eastham is cited as one of the oldest villages on the Wirral Peninsula and has been inhabited since Anglo Saxon times. The name derives from its location: ham ("home") situated to the east of Willaston, which was then the principal settlement. The original village is clustered around St. Mary's Church, whose churchyard contains an ancient yew tree.
