Little Faringdon is a village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Lechlade in neighbouring Gloucestershire. In the late Anglo-Saxon period Little Faringdon formed part of a large estate which included Faringdon (formally Great Faringdon), from which it took its name. From 1204 to 1538 the manor was held by Beaulieu Abbey as part of its larger Faringdon estate. The manor was then held by the Bourchier and Perrott families. In about 1860 it was sold to Charles Ponsonby, 2nd Baron de Mauley, whose desendants hold it today. Until the 20th century Little Faringdon was an estate village. In 1910 almost all the houses were owned by the lord of the manor. (source: Wikipedia) |
