The Frome Society for Local Study was founded in 1958 by a number of Frome townspeople who realised there was a need to make the history of Frome and the district better known, and to preserve its historic buildings and records. See the Civic Society pages to explore our work & our Planning Panel.
villages, plus old maps & our own Yearbooks.
Following the recent Government announcements about being careful with the new covid variant spreading fast and the guidelines for attending large gatherings the Frome Society are anxious to avoid large gatherings at the Assembly Rooms, over 120 people attended the lecture on Saturday 4th December 2021 and we feel this was a dangerously high number.
The lectures on Saturdays 22nd January and 5th February 2022 will be on Zoom only. At the moment it is difficult to predict lecture arrangements for Saturday 19th February and for the two lectures in March but it is likely that we will continue to ask those on Zoom to watch from the safety of their homes to leave the Assembly Rooms safer for those who want to attend.
Currently, the Frome Society for Local Study is actively involved in:
- An annual programme of winter lectures.
- An annual programme of summer visits to places of interest.
- Continuing its wide range of research, donations, and publications.

In the past. Frome Society for Local Study has:
* Published over 100 titles of historic and local interest, including 24 Year Books.
