HUNTSHAM, a village on the SE border of Herefordshire; at a ferry on the river Wye, 4¼ miles NE of Monmouth. Henry IV., in 1387, then Duke of Lancaster, heard here of the birth of his heir, afterwards Henry V., and, in gratitude to the man who rowed him across the Wye, gave him the right of a ferry here, -a right which continues to be held by the man's descendants.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
