'Bury managed to pull one back through Peter Collins - his 21st goal of the season - off a Mark Scotcher cross but Higham held on to take the points.
Manager Dean Shipp, who stood in for injured keeper Ben Houseago, said of his team's performance: "We underperformed all afternoon and can't take much from the game.
"We should have made ground on the teams above us but we once more lost points against a bottom-of-the-table team.
"On a positive note, though, we're in the fray at the top-end, which is where we'd hoped to be at this stage in the season."
Huntingdon Town 1 Whitworths 0
AN improving Huntingdon side thwarted Whitworths' title bid by subjecting them to a 1-0 defeat at Jubilee Park.
Hot-shot Paul Bass put the home side ahead after 36 minutes with what proved to be the only goal of the game, Carl Foreman setting it up.
Huntingdon played a controlled game thereafter, limiting Whitworth's chances to protect their lead.
Huntingdon continue their bid for a mid-table finish with promise whilst Whitworths look set to move only downwards after their sixth game without a win.
Huntingdon manager Mick Hunt said of the performance: "We played a tight game that didn't allow room for Whitworth to play the stylish football we know they can. Our youthfulness and endeavour payed dividends and we are pleased with the win.
