Not to be confused with Ham House (Newham), known as Upton House until the 1780s.

Upton House was a building in Newham, on what is now the corner of Lancaster Road and Upton Lane.[1] In 1827 it was the birthplace of the surgeon Joseph Lister. In 1893 a temporary church for St Peter's Church, Upton Cross was set up in its gardens, with the house forming the vicarage[2] - the permanent church was later built in the gardens. The vicarage was demolished in 1967-1968 and its site is now occupied by Joseph Lister Court.
