NEW
EXHIBITION AT FROME MUSEUM It is more than 500 years
ago that William Leversedge, the lord of the manor, was moved by the plight of
the Frome homeless and decided to do something about it. Arranged and researched by
Andrea Brooke and the trustees of the Blue House, this exhibition tells a
fascinating story. To include photos,
documents, artefacts and much more about the history of the almshouse and
school. What is the connection
between an apprentice, a pulpit and a bedpan?? Come
to the exhibition and find the answer. |

Sundays during the Frome Festival in July, and September. They set off at 2.30
pm outside the Round Tower in Justice Lane and are designed to give an
understanding of the development of the history and economy of the town from
its foundation in 685 AD by St Aldhelm, through the middle ages to the present
day. There is a special emphasis on
Frome’s listed buildings with their broad range of religious and vernacular
architecture. |
