Farlam history

Origins

Farlam was originally divided into two townships, East Farlam and West Farlam. The name Farlam is thought to originate from the Old English fearn and ham, the latter meaning village or village community, translating to a ‘Ferny-clearing homestead/village’ or perhaps, ‘hemmed-in land by a ferny clearing’

Population

The UK national census recorded that in 1881, the total population for the parish peaked at 1585, which (with the exception of 1821) had been growing steadily year on year, since records began in 1801. After 1881 there was a large drop in population which is shown in the 1961 census.

Occupation

Both coal and limestone where found within Farlam and as such limestone was quarried and in 1552 coal was bored for in Greenside Rigg within the parish. The 1881 census shows that the majority of men within the village were involved in the mining and quarrying of both the coal and. limestone. However the picture of the women occupations is less clear with the majority being listed as persons without specific occupations.

Housing

Between 1831 and 1901, the total number of houses in Farlam increased steadily from 134 to 294. However, in 1921 the total house number decreased to 230 and rose again to 247 in 1931 before falling to 230 in 1961. The most recent data from the 2001 UK Census showed there were 265 houses.
