Though there is See also:evidence of an early See also:settlement in the neighbourhood, the town of Farnham (Ferneham) seems to have grown up See also:round the castle of the bishops of Winchester, who possessed the See also:manor at the Domesday Survey. Its position at the junction of the See also:Pilgrim's Way and the road from See also:Southampton to London was important. In 1205 Farnham had bailiffs, and in 1207 it was definitely a See also:mesne See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough under the bishops of Winchester. In 1247 the bishop granted the first See also:charter, giving, among other privileges, a See also:fair on All See also:Saints' See also:Day. The burgesses surrendered the proceeds of the borough See also:court and other rights in 1365 in return for See also:respite of the See also:fee See also:farm See also:rent; these were recovered in 1405 and rent again paid. Bishop See also:Waynflete is said to have confirmed the See also:original charter in 1452, and in 1566 Bishop See also:Horne
granted a new charter by which the burgesses elected 2 bailiffs and 12 burgesses annually and did service at their own courts every three See also:weeks, the court leet being held twice a See also:year. In resisting an attack made by the bishop in 166o on their right of See also:toll, the burgesses could only claim Farnham as a borough by See also:prescription as their charters had been mislaid, but the charters were subsequently found, and after some litigation their rights were established. In the 18th See also:century the See also:corporation, a See also:close See also:body, declined, its duties being performed by the See also:vestry, and in .1789 the one survivor resigned and handed over the town papers to the bishop. Farnham sent representatives to See also:parliament in 1311 and 146o, on both occasions being practically the bishop's See also:pocket borough.

grant of 1247 a fair was held on All Saints' day and also on See also:Holy See also:Thursday; the former was afterwards held on All Souls' Day. Farnham was early a market of importance, and in 1216 a royal grant changed the market day from See also:Sunday to Thursday in each See also:week. It was famous in the early 17th century for See also:wheat and oats; See also:hop-growing began in 1597.
