About Farnham

Since the time of the Roman Invasion of England, Farnham has played host to three major industries, namely Agriculture, Brick Making and Brewing / Hop Growing.  Although none of these industries are to be seen in the Farnham that we know today, there are several traces of what once was

For students of history and Architecture, Farnham has a lot to offer including one of the most complete streets featuring Georgian Architecture in the South of England and is well worth a visit at any time of the year.

About the Rural Life Living Museum

It has a collection of life as it was in Surrey up until the end of the 1950s as seen through Preserved Buildings, Shops, Transport, Tradesmen and their Tools as well as other displays. 

The best way to get the most out of a visit is to engage a Museum Guide to show our Group around, as the Guides are all Museum Volunteers and have a good knowledge and the ability to answer questions.  Free time will be available on completion of the tour.

About Richard

Richard Shenton is a Blue Badge Tourist Guide for South East England and has lived in the Farnham area for around 45 years and once worked there during the years of  his mis-spent youth, so has a good knowledge of what there is to see.
