The village has a church, St. Botolphs, a village hall and a public house, The Inn at Farnborough. On the southern edge of the village is Farnborough Hall, a Grade I Listed building built by the Holbech family in the early 17th century and endowed to the National Trust in the 1960's. The interior of the Hall is most famous for its collection of Roman busts and paintings by Canaletto and Giovanni Paolo Panini collected during The Grand Tour by William Holbech in the early 18th century. The gardens and landscape were designed by the famous designer Sanderson Miller that include two temples along the manicured walk, known as The Terrace, with an 80 feet (24 m) tall obelisk [2] at the end.
