THE TOWN OF FARNHAM:
Four volumes, all written by
Pat Heather, reflecting the historic
administration divisions of the town
and the area around it, each volume
is a stand-alone history of that
part of the town of Farnahm.
The amount of material
accumulated meant that the
work had to be divided into
four volumes – each of which
is a stand-alone history of
a particular part of the
town and the area
surrounding it, reflecting
the original historic
administration areas of the
town: The Borough and Castle
Street; East Street; West
Street; and Church Lanes,
Downing Street and the town
south of the River Wey.
Based on primary sources
such as the Bishop of
Winchester’s Pipe Rolls,
parish records, censuses,
property deeds and local
wills, Pat has been able to
describe the development of
each plot in the historic
town, with secondary sources
like newspaper reports and
personal recollections
adding local colour.
Each book has more than 200
pages and is illustrated
with many maps and plans
drawn by the author and
includes a considerable
number of black and white
photographs.

STREET This book covers
