Farnham: what to know before moving day
St Oswald's Church dates back to the 12th century and is Grade I. The other listed buildings include The Old Manor House of 1667 in gritstone, Gibbet Cottage of 1795 in limestone, Farnham Hall and a K6 telephone kiosk. In a 17th or 18th-century house, measure doorways and ceiling heights and send them if anything large is going in.
Farnham Gravel Pits were worked from 1941 to 1985 and later filled with water; they cover about 200 acres and form a nature reserve. Ripon Sailing Club and the Treves UK factory, which makes car components, are both off Farnham Lane. In the village itself the streets are Main Street, Beech Close, Shaw Lane and Woodlands Lane, with a village green.
How the van gets to Farnham
Farnham Lane, with a 30 mph limit through the village, Low Moor Lane, Stang Lane and Sandy Bank are the roads in. Only five buses a day each way link Farnham with Knaresborough and York, so if friends or family are coming by bus to help you on the day, check the timetable first.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
