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.
We have a wide range of fascinating books about the town and surrounding
villages, plus old maps & our own Yearbooks.
