FAIRCLOUGH : English (Lancashire): from one or more lost or unidentified places probably in Lancashire named with Middle English fair(e) ‘beautiful’ + clo(u)gh ‘narrow valley ravine’ (see Clough). Fairclough Farm in Chipping Lancashire is a candidate for the surname's origin although early forms of the placename are lacking. A number of the earliest bearers came from Shevington Lancashire where the narrow valley of the River Douglas may perhaps have have been known in the medieval period as Fairclough.
