Farnborough Hall

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Farnborough was the home of the Holbech family for over 3 centuries. The Hall is a lovely Grade I listed late 17th century country house built by William Holbech in 1684 and extensively remodelled between 1745-1750 by William Holbech the Younger.

The 18th century design, likely executed by Sanderson Miller, is the golden-stoned house we can see today. The interior features exquisitely beautiful plasterwork ceilings by William Perritt, considered to be some of the finest historic plasterwork in England.

The house is set in an extensive landscape garden which has remained essentially unaltered since it was established in the 1740s. There are enjoyable walks through the garden and surrounding parkland, augmented by glimpses of classical temples dotted around the garden.
