The civil parish of Artington was created in 1894 and is a part of the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Guildford, St Nicholas. It is mainly rural with a population of approximately 350 people living in 120 households.
The parish is broadly rectangular being bounded by:
- North Downs Way to the north.
- A line just south of New Pond Road (B3000) to the south.
- The River Wey to the east.
- A line just west of Loseley House to the west.
Although it is a small parish, Artington is an important green wedge between the towns of Guildford and Godalming. The parish council plays an important part in preserving this rural space by liaising with central government agencies, Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council concerning their various activities and by scrutinising all planning applications relating to the parish. By making its views known to these other authorities, it acts as an official mouthpiece of Artington residents.
If you wish to make your views known to the parish council you can do so by contacting the chairman, Roger Musson, or the clerk, Philip Gorton, via the parish council page.
At the moment, this site contains only parish council information but there is scope for adding news about other parish matters and local organisations. Again, contact the clerk if you would like to contribute to its pages.
