==History== The name Lowdham seems to be derived from the Old English masculine personal nickname Hluda, combined with "hām," meaning village, community, manor, estate, or homestead, resulting in "Hluda's homestead or village." However, the name Lowdham also suggests a Danish origin, with earlier forms such as Ludham and Ludholme.
