Farnham is a market place boondocks in Surrey, England, within the Borough of Waverley.^[2] The boondocks is 36 miles (58 km) south-west of London in the extreme west of Surrey, adjacent to the border with Hampshire. By road, Guildford is 11 miles (17 km) to the eastward and Winchester a further 28 miles (45 km) along the same centrality as London. Farnham is the largest town in Waverley, and one of the five largest conurbations in Surrey. It is of historic interest, with many old buildings, including a number of Georgian houses. Farnham Castle overlooks the town. A brusk distance southward-east of the town heart are the ruins of Waverley Abbey, Moor Park House, Northbrook Park and Mother Ludlam's Cavern. Farnham is twinned with Andernach in Germany. It is drained by the River Wey (North Branch) which is navigable merely past canoe at this point.

Geography [edit]

Farnham's history and nowadays condition are mainly the result of its geography; a combination of river, streams, fresh water springs and varied soils, together with a temperate climate, was attractive in prehistoric times. The geology of the surface area continues to influence the town, both in terms of communications, scenic and botanic variety and the main local industries of agriculture and minerals extraction. Farnham Geological Order is an agile arrangement in the town, and the Museum of Farnham has a drove of geological samples and fossils.^[3]

Farnham lies in the valley of the North Co-operative of the River Wey, which rises about Alton, merges with the Southward Co-operative at Tilford, and joins the River Thames at Weybridge. The mainly e-west alignment of the ridges and valleys has influenced the development of road and rails communications. The most prominent geological characteristic is the chalk of the North Downs which forms a ridge (the Grunter's Back) to the east of the town, and continues through Farnham Park to the north of the town centre, and westwards to form the Hampshire Downs. The land rises to more than 180 metres (591 ft) above sea level (ASL) to the due north of the boondocks at Caesar's Army camp which, with the northern part of the park, lies on gravel beds. There are a number of swallow holes in the park where this stratum meets the chalk. The historic cadre of the town lies on gravel beds at an distance of roughly 70 metres^[iv] (230 ft) ASL on an underlying geology of Gault Clay and Upper Greensand and the southern part of the boondocks rises to more than 100 metres (328 ft) on the Lower Greensand.

Climate [edit]

Farnham has a temperate maritime climate, free from farthermost temperatures, with moderate rainfall and often breezy weather. The nearest official weather station to Farnham is Alice Holt Guild, just under 3+ ane⁄2 miles (six kilometres) southwest of the town centre.

The highest temperature recorded was 35.4 °C (95.7 °F),^[5] in July 2006. In an 'average' year, the warmest day would reach 26.iii °C (79.three °F),^[6] with xviii.1 days^[vii] attaining a temperature of 25.ane °C (77.2 °F) or higher.

The lowest temperature recorded was -14.0 °C (7.0 °F)^[viii] in February 1986. On average, 57.7 nights of the yr will register an air frost.

Annual rainfall averages 821mm,^[9] with at least 1mm of rain reported on 126.0 days.^[10] All averages refer to the 1991–2020 ascertainment period.

History [edit]

Prehistory [edit]

Stone Age [edit]

Farnham'due south history has been claimed to extend back tens of thousands of years to hunters of the Paleolithic or early Stone Age, on the ground of tools and prehistoric animal bones found together in deep gravel pits.^[12] The first known settlement in the area was in the Mesolithic menses, some 7,000 years ago; a cluster of pit dwellings^[12] and testify of a flint-knapping industry from that period has been excavated a short distance to the east of the town. There was a Neolithic long barrow at nearby Badshot Lea, now destroyed past quarrying. This monument lay on the road of the prehistoric trackway known as the Harrow Way or Harroway, which passes through Farnham Park, and a sarsen stone however stands nearby, which is believed to have marked the safe crossing betoken of a marshy area nearly the nowadays Shepherd and Flock roundabout. The parallel Pilgrims' Style, known as such for linking Canterbury to Winchester, also dates dorsum to prehistory and, like the Harrow Manner, may date back to the time when United kingdom was physically joined to continental Europe.^[13]

Bronze Age [edit]

Occupation of the expanse connected to grow through the Bronze Age. Two bronze hoards accept been discovered on Crooksbury Colina,^[14] and farther artefacts have been found, especially at sites in Green Lane and virtually the Bourne spring in Farnham Park. A significant number of Bronze Age barrows occur in the area, including a triple barrow at Elstead and an urnfield cemetery at Stoneyfield, nearly the Tilford road.

Iron Historic period [edit]

Hill forts from the early Iron Age take been identified locally at Phytology Hill to the south of the town,^[xv] and at Caesar's Camp to the due north.^[16] The latter is a very large earthwork on a high promontory, served past a spring which emerges from betwixt ii conglomerate boulders called the Jock and Jenny Stones.^[17] "Soldier'due south Band" earthworks on Crooksbury Hill date from the after Atomic number 26 Historic period.^{[ citation needed ]} The final era of the Iron Age, during the 1st century Advert, found Farnham within the territory of the Belgic tribe Atrebates led by Commius, a sometime ally of Caesar, who had brought his tribe to Britain following a dispute with the Romans. A hut dating from this period was discovered at the Bourne Jump and other occupation textile has been discovered at various sites, particularly Green Lane.

Roman United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland [edit]

During the Roman catamenia the commune became a pottery centre due to the plentiful supply of gault clay, oak woodlands for fuel, and good communications via the Harrow Style and the nearby Roman road from Silchester to Chichester. Kilns dating from about Advertisement 100 take been establish throughout the area, including Six Bells (near the Bourne Bound), Snailslynch and Mavins Route, simply the main centre of pottery had been Alice Holt Forest, on the edge of the town, since about Advertizing 50, just 7 years afterward the arrival of the Romans. The Alice Holt potteries continued in use, making mainly domestic wares, until about Advertizing 400. Near the Bourne Spring 2 Roman buildings were discovered; one was a bathroom-house dating from virtually AD 270 and the other a house of later date. The Roman Fashion housing manor stands on this site. William Stukeley propounded that Farnham is the site of the lost Roman settlement of Vindomis, although this is now believed to exist at Neatham, well-nigh Alton. Large hoards of Roman coins have been discovered some x miles (16 km) south-due west of Farnham in Woolmer Forest and a temple has been excavated at Wanborough, most 8 miles (13 km) to the east.

The Anglo-Saxon period [edit]

In the 7th century, Surrey passed into the hands of King Caedwalla of Wessex, who also conquered Kent and Sussex, and founded a monastery at Farnham in 686.^[18]

It was the Saxons who gave the boondocks its name—Farnham is listed as Fearnhamme in the Anglo-Saxon Relate. Fearn refers to the fern and bracken of the land and Hamme to the water meadows.^[19] They arrived in the 6th century and, in Advertizing 688, the West Saxon King Caedwalla donated the commune around Farnham to the Church, and to the diocese of Winchester. This was the first mention of Farnham in written history. A Saxon community grew upward in the valley by the river. By the twelvemonth 803 Farnham had passed into the ownership of the Bishop of Winchester and the Manor of Farnham remained so (apart from two short breaks) for the next 1000 years. Although Farnham is documented in Saxon texts and most of the local names are derived from their language, there is only one fully attested Saxon site in Farnham, simply off the lower part of Firgrove Hill, where a road called Saxon Croft is now sited. Here several Saxon weaving huts from about Advertising 550 were discovered in 1924.

In 892 Surrey was the scene of another major boxing when a large Danish regular army, variously reported at 200, 250 and 350 ship-loads, moved west from its encampment in Kent and raided in Hampshire and Berkshire. Withdrawing with their loot, the Danes were intercepted and defeated at Farnham by an army led by Alfred the Dandy'due south son Edward, the hereafter Rex Edward the Elder, and fled across the Thames towards Essex.^[20]

The Hundred of Farnham [edit]

A hundred (county subdivision) was an surface area that had a general overlord of its lords of the manor, entitled to charge sure rents to sure intermediate lords. Parishes inside Farnham hundred were: Frensham (including tything Pitfold with Churt) (partly in the hundred of Alton) Elstead, the freedom of Dockenfield, the freedom of Waverley, Seal (at present Seale) the tythings of Badshot, Runfold, Culverlands, Tilford with Culverlands, Farnham, Runwick, Wrecklesham (now Wrecclesham), and Bourne.

In the 14th century, Farnham hundred was endemic past the Bishop of Winchester and was 1 of the wealthiest on the bishop's rolls.^[21]

Afterwards the Norman invasion [edit]

Farnham appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Ferneham, one of the 5 great "minster" churches in Surrey. Its Domesday avails were: 40 hides; i church building, 6 mills worth £2 6s 0d, 43 ploughs, 35 acres (140,000 m²) of meadow, woodland worth 175½ hogs. Information technology rendered £53.^[22]

Waverley Abbey, the first Cistercian abbey in England, was founded in 1128 past William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester nearly one mile (ane.5 km) s of the boondocks middle. King John visited Waverley in 1208, and Henry 3 in 1225. The abbey produced the famous Register of Waverley, an important reference source for the period. By the end of the 13th century the abbey was becoming less important. Past the fourth dimension it was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1536 equally part of the dissolution of the monasteries there were but 13 monks in the community.

The town is midway between Winchester and London and, in 1138, Henry de Blois (grandson of William the Conqueror and brother of King Stephen) started building Farnham Castle to provide accommodation for the Bishop of Winchester in his frequent journeying between his cathedral and the capital. The castle'south garrison provided a market place for farms and small industries in the town, accelerating its growth. Three miles (five kilometres) west of the boondocks is Barley Pound, the remains of an 11th-century forerunner of Farnham Castle.

Farnham was granted its charter as a boondocks in 1249 by William de Ralegh, and then Bishop of Winchester.

The Blind Bishop's Steps, a series of steps leading along Castle Street upwards to the Castle, were originally constructed for Bishop Richard Foxe (godfather of Henry Viii).

The Blackness Decease hitting Farnham in 1348, killing virtually 1,300 people, at that time virtually a third of the population.^[23] In 1625 Farnham was again subject to an outbreak of the plague which, together with a severe decline in the local woollen industry (the local downland wool beingness unsuitable for the newly fashionable worsted) led by the 1640s to a serious economic low in the surface area.^[24] Local wool merchants were, like merchants throughout the country, heavily taxed by Charles I to pay for his increasingly unpopular policies.

The Civil War [edit]

Against this groundwork the English Civil State of war began, with Farnham playing a major office. Hither, support for the Parliamentarians was general. The castle was considered a potential rallying point for Royalists, resulting in the installation of a Roundhead garrison there in 1642. As the Male monarch's forces moved southwards, taking Oxford, Reading and Windsor, the garrison commander at Farnham (a noted poet), Helm George Wither, decided to evacuate the castle; the new High Sheriff of Surrey (John Denham, a Royalist sympathiser and another noted poet) then occupied the vacant castle with 100 armed supporters. With the castle and much of the surrounding surface area in Royalist hands, Parliament despatched Colonel Sir William Waller to Farnham to retake the castle. The defenders refused to give up but Waller's men used a petard to destroy the castle gates and overcame them, with only i fatality, and took the High Sheriff prisoner.

The following twelvemonth, equally the Royalists strengthened their position west of Farnham, the garrison at Farnham Castle was strengthened when it became the headquarters of the Farnham regiment of foot or "Greencoats", with some eight to nine hundred officers and men, supported by a number of troops of equus caballus. Further reinforcement by three regiments from London, 4,000 strong under Waller'southward command arrived in Farnham that October prior to an unsuccessful foray to recapture Winchester from the Royalists. Eight g Royalists under Ralph Hopton (a former friend of Waller) avant-garde on Farnham from the due west and skirmishes took place on the outskirts of boondocks. Despite further reinforcement for Waller from Kent, Hopton'due south unabridged army gathered on the heathland just outside Farnham Park. In that location was some skirmishing but Hopton's men withdrew. Through the next few years Farnham was an important centre of Parliamentary operations and the garrison cost Farnham people dearly in terms of local taxes, provisioning and quartering; even the pb from the Boondocks Hall roof had been requisitioned to brand bullets. A number of local women were widowed post-obit the pressing of local men into the militia. The bombardment of Basing Business firm was past a railroad train of heavy cannon assembled at Farnham from other areas and, in 1646, most of the garrison was removed from Farnham to form a brigade to besiege Donnington Castle almost Newbury. The King surrendered shortly afterwards at Newark and a small garrison remained at Farnham.

In 1647, having escaped from custody at Hampton Court, the Rex rode through Farnham at dawn on 12 Nov with a pocket-size party of loyal officers, en route to the Island of Wight, where he sought sanctuary under the protection of Colonel Robert Hammond, a Parliamentarian officer but with Royalist sympathies. The following March, Oliver Cromwell stayed at Farnham for discussions concerning the marriage of his daughter to a Hampshire admirer, although some historians have speculated that this was cover for secret negotiations with the Rex.

Following the rebellion during the summertime of 1648 the keep was partially dismantled at the orders of Cromwell, to make farther occupation by garrison indefensible. In late Nov that year Hammond was summoned to Farnham, where he was arrested and the Male monarch was removed under military escort to the mainland. On 20 December the King and his escort entered Farnham, where groups of men, women and children gathered at the roadside to welcome him and impact his mitt. That night the King lodged at Culver Hall (now Vernon House) in West Street earlier the party continued to London for Charles's trial and execution in January 1649. The King gave his night cap to Henry Vernon, owner of Culver Hall, "as a token of Regal favour". Records show that the following period of interregnum until restoration of the monarchy in 1660 was a time of prosperity and growth for Farnham. In 1660 the bishops of Winchester were restored to the adjoining Bishops Palace, which remained their residence until 1927. From 1927 until 1955 it was a residence of the bishops of the newly created diocese of Guildford. The castle is currently owned by English language Heritage.

Post-restoration [edit]

Farnham became a successful market town; the writer Daniel Defoe wrote that Farnham had the greatest corn-market after London,^[25] and describes i,100 fully laden wagons delivering wheat to the town on market day. During the 17th century, other new industries evolved: greenware pottery (a pottery, dating from 1873, still exists on the outskirts of the town), wool and cloth, the processing of wheat into flour, and somewhen hops, a key ingredient of beer. The Anglican divine, Augustus Montague Toplady, composer of the hymn Rock of Ages (1763, at Blagston) was born in Farnham in 1740^[26] – a plaque now marks the edifice on West Street where he was built-in.

Stella Cottage is a 17th-century cottage, now a listed building, located at Camp Loma.^[27]

The radical MP, soldier, farmer, journalist and publisher William Cobbett was born in Farnham in 1763, in a pub chosen the Jolly Farmer.^[28] The pub still stands, and has since been renamed the William Cobbett.^[29]

The London and South Western Railway arrived in 1848 and, in 1854, neighbouring Aldershot became the "Home of the British Army".^[30] Both events had a pregnant outcome on Farnham. The fast link with London meant metropolis businessmen could think of having a business firm in the country and nevertheless be in close contact with the office; Farnham thereby became an early on example of a 'commuter town'. Also, the railway did non reach Aldershot until 1870; during the intervening catamenia soldiers would be carried by train to Farnham station and then march to Aldershot.^[31] Many officers and their families chose to billet in Farnham itself. The railway was electrified by the Southern Railway company in 1937 as far as Alton,^[32] and a carriage shed for the new electrical stock was congenital in Weydon Lane. This edifice, which carried fading cover-up paint for many years after Globe War Ii, was replaced in 2006.

In 1895 Farnham Urban Commune Quango (FUDC) was formed.^[33] In 1930 the quango purchased Farnham Park,^[34] a large park occupying much of the former castle grounds. That same year, St Joan of Arc Church building was built on Waverley Lane, information technology was dedicated to St Joan of Arc because Farnham Castle was a residence of Fundamental Henry Beaufort who presided over the saint's trial.^[35] The FUDC was abolished in 1973 past the Local Government Act of the previous yr.^[33] Farnham, together with Hindhead, Haslemere, Cranleigh and surrounding areas were absorbed into the new Waverley District Council (latterly Waverley Borough Council) with its headquarters in Godalming. In 1984 Farnham Parish Council became Farnham Town Council, taking on some of the minor roles of the quondam FUDC from Waverley.^[36]

Farnham Maltings, Span Square was once a tannery; the site expanded to become part of the Farnham United Breweries, which included its own maltings. Taken over past a major brewer (Courage) brewing ceased but malting continued into the 1960s, when Courage planned to sell off the site for redevelopment. The people of Farnham raised enough money to buy the edifice and so that information technology could exist converted into a community center for the town.^[37] Other buildings in Farnham once linked to the Farnham Maltings include The Oasthouse (at present offices) in Mead Lane and The Hop Kiln (now private residences) on Weydon Lane.
