There is a town in England called Sandwich* (probably the origin of the name of the one in Massachusetts). Nearby there is a village called Ham (from the Old English hám, meaning 'home' and used in many place names such as Nottingham, Durham etc.)

* Note the Wikpedia article's story of the origin of the name of the town is risible nonsense. It means the 'dwelling place by the beach' which it was until the sea receded. 'Sand' from the beach and 'wich' from the Old English ''wic' meaning a dwelling place and also used in many place names such as Norwich, Ipswich etc. It was the town's name long before the Earl of Sandwich didn't invent the sandwich!
