The town of Frome, in the ancient royal forest of Selwood that
straddles the borders of Wiltshire and Somerset, was once renowned
for its prosperous woollen cloth industry and is now noted as an
emerging provincial centre for the arts and crafts. The town and
its environs has a fascinating and little-known history. Here we
will discover stories of medieval kings and bishops, political
intrigue and judicial murder, religious dissent and rebellion,
battles and sieges, criminals and crime-fighters. Here too are
stories of eminent philosophers and authors, entrepreneurs and
artists. Stories of ghosts and witchcraft share space with
histories of personal triumphs and disasters in the lives of the
residents of Frome. The hidden histories of its archaeological
remains, extant surface structures and those deep underground
combine to further reveal the tale of the town and its Selwood
hundred. Fully illustrated throughout, Secret Frome investigates
many of the town's secrets and invites readers to discover the
lesser-known events and stories from its past.
