Farndon

Farndon is a small village and civil parish on the Fosse road, 2.5 miles south-west of Newark-on-Trent, on the banks of the River Trent. The population of the civil parish as of the 2011 census is 2,405. The A46 previously ran through the village until the development of a new dual carriageway bypass. The name Farndon means "Fern Hill". It is thought to be the site of the Roman fort Ad Pontem or "the place by the bridges." The parish church of St. Peter was built in Elizabethan times, and thought to be the third such church built on the same site since Saxon times. ()
