Markham is a small village in the South Wales Valleys in Caerphilly County Borough, to the northeast of Bargoed.

The modern Miners Institute and Welfare Club occupy the site of the farm buildings.

Markham Institute was funded by the colliery workers and built in 1928 on land formerly belonging to the Berllan-Llwyd farm.

[11] Markham RFC currently play in the WRU Swalec League Five South East.
