In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Farringdon like this:
FARINGDON, a chapelry in Iwerne-Courtney parish, Dorset; 5¼ miles SSW of Shaftesbury. The statistics are returned with the parish. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the rectory of Iwerne-Courtney, in the diocese of Salisbury.
Farringdon is now part of DORSET Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how DORSET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Farringdon itself, go to Statistics.
