Pat -

I don't know what's going wrong with my brain lately (must be my age....) - Sparham is, clearly, a surname you're researching, not a place!  Please forgive my ineptitude.

Hi Chris,

I am indeed researching the name Sparham occurring in Framlingham 

In 1791 John Bridges and his wife Susannah (Sparham) had their first son, John Fruer Bridges (same name as my husband).  It took a bit of digging around PRs  back in the 1970s to discover where the Fruer came from, it was Susannah's mother's maiden name. 

The Fruer name has continued through our ancestral line to the present day.
