I couldn't find 'Hayham' or similar - nor any clues from Robinson's other specimens. Heigham possibly?

According to "Transactions of the Royal English Arboricultural Society" (1908) a Major, VC Edwards lived at Hayham Hall, Attleborough, Norfolk. The History of Watton records Fred[erick] Robinson as a member of a family of local solicitors, keen botanist and member of the Botanical Exchange Club. Watton to Attleborough is about 15km. Have been unable to find Hayham Hall on old maps!

I looked at Hargham but decided against it as the same "Transactions of the Royal English Arboricultural Society" records "Sir Hugh R. Beevor, Hargham, Attleboro', Norfolk", as a Member of Council, thus suggesting it as a different place from Hayham. Hargham Hall is on the map. Clearly Attleborough was a hot bed of arboriculture.
