Farnham, in west Surrey, had a population of around 39,500 at the 2021 census — a well-preserved Georgian market town with roots that go back much further.
A bishop's castle and a hop-growing past
Farnham Castle was founded around 1138 by Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester, and for centuries served as a residence of the Bishops of Winchester, whose influence shaped much of the town below it. From the 18th century onward, Farnham built a second reputation as one of England's most important hop-growing centres, with 'Farnham hops' prized by London brewers and the surrounding countryside given over to hop gardens and oast houses. That combination — an old ecclesiastical seat and a farming trade that fed the capital's breweries — gave the town much of the prosperous, well-kept character still visible in its Georgian high street today.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Farnham's castle and hop-trade history never left it with a dedicated sweet shop, and the town doesn't have a local option geared up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.
