In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kelham like this:

KELHAM, a parish in Southwell district, Notts; on the river Trent, 2 miles NW of Newark r. station. It has a post office under Newark. Acres, 1,857. Real property, £3, 743. Pop., 178. Houses, 36. The manor, with Kelham Hall, belongs to J. H. Manners-Sutton, Esq. K. Hall is a recent and handsome mansion. ...


A five arched bridge, of brick with stone dressings, here crosses the Trent, and was built in lieu of an iron bridge, swept away by a freshet with ice. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Averham, in the diocese of Lincoln. The church is later English; comprises nave, aisles, and chancel, with a tower; and includes, in a mortuary chapel, a handsome altar monument to Lord and Lady Lexington.
