Farrington Gurney is a small rural village located at the foot of the Mendip Hills within the North East of Somerset. In the Domesday book, the village was known as Ferentone. The second part of the name is believed to come from the Gournays, its ancient possessors, including Robert de Gournay in 1225. When Sir Thomas de Gournay was implicated in the murder of Edward II at Berkeley Castle, his estates were confiscated; Farrington was later annexed to the Duchy of Cornwall. The parish was part of the hundred of Chewton.

Farrington Gurney's formal air-quality problem emerged from NO₂ pollution associated primarily with the A37/A362 junction and traffic congestion/idling. Monitoring began in January 2017 and continues until November 2026. Full timeline on attached document.
A request to monitor the air quality was raised regarding complaints of air pollution in Farrington Gurney - particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, NO2). A Zephyr monitor was installed in 2026 at Sunnyside near Paulton Road then outside Gournay Court until November 2026.
