stretching back to 1230 when it was mentioned in the history
of a local Monastery. It has Grade 2 listed status.

- After the dissolution of the monastery
in the late 1500’s, Fairbororoughs was developed as the
biggest farm in the area north of the site of the monastery.
It was in fact a Grange but has always been titled as a farm.
The Lowe family are the first owner occupiers since the early
1700’s.
-
- The name Fairboroughs means ‘a
pretty place where sheep can graze’, and everyone who visits
concurs with this appropriate name.
Fairboroughs is a beautiful, peaceful place to spend some time
and find out what the countryside is all about!
