Farnborough was a rural district in Warwickshire, England from 1894 to 1932.
It was formed from that part of the Banbury rural sanitary district which was in Warwickshire (the rest, including part of the parish of Mollington historically in Warwickshire, becoming the Banbury Rural District in Oxfordshire, or the Middleton Cheney Rural District in Northamptonshire).
It contained the parishes of Avon Dassett, Farnborough, Radway, Ratley and Upton, Shottswell and Warmington.
It was abolished under a County Review Order in 1932, becoming part of the Southam Rural District.
Famous quotes containing the words rural and/or district:
“[They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
