After a few meetings in London, we got to take a break, and explore the countryside around Frome, with a friend, who is from the area. She wanted to “show us her England,” and we were so honored to accompany her, all over the area for 3 wonderful Autumn days in September. We got a “tour” from her, of the lovely St John the Baptist Church in Frome, and what a lovely church it was. Located in the “heart of Frome,” it is easily accessible, and really just a short walk from anywhere in the village. It was open to the public, and as our friend had toured it many times, she took up the mantle of being our “tour guide,” leading around the lovely grounds, and the chapel. The one description, which I can apply is “history.” The second would be “architecture.” Even with our leisurely pace, I kept stopping, to study another element, whether an architectural one, or an artistic one, while trying to listen to the running commentary from our friend. This was the second of four churches, which we would visit on the first of our three days, and while not as grand as some, or as old as others, it was still a delightful visit. And while the chapel, itself, was very beautiful, and interesting, the grounds were impressive too. This is a church, which offers more than just a peek in the door. We spent almost an hour, in our visit, before launching off to explore Frome. I think that one could easily spend even more time, especially if their interest is in architecture.

It is a small but perfectly formed mediaeval castle with a perfect moat! Be careful with very young children as the moat is not totally protected and the water is deep! There are also gorgeous wild ducks and ducklings which add to the perfect atmosphere of this site. A small stream passes close to the site and is accessible for paddling with free entry too.The coffee shop nearby does tasty treats too????

How lovely to see a rural town with such an incredible number of independent shops.I met my daughter here to wander around for some retail therapy just after second lockdown . Catherine Hill is well worth the climb up the cobbled Street.Such a wide and eccletic range of things to buy .Great to see that these shops are continuing to trade and I so hope that they can continue to survive.I did my duty and tried to support as many as I could so completing my Christmas shopping.
