People have lived in the Frome area since prehistoric times and the present town dates back as far as the Saxon era. In the early days it was famous for the quality of its cloth, but the industry and trade declined in the eighteenth century. Over the centuries it has had its fair share of rioting and crime, as well as some notable personalities and eccentrics such as Thomas Bunn an eighteenth-century philanthropist. It was also the birthplace of Benjamin Baker builder of the Forth Bridge and, more recently, Jenson Button the racing driver. Today it has over 300 listed buildings, more than any other Somerset town, 14 pubs and two thriving bookshops as well as an increasing creative and artistic community.In this book, local authors Mick Davis and David Lassman take a journey through Frome to discover some significant and secret aspects of its rich and varied history. From buildings and streets to people and events, 'A-Z of Frome' highlights fascinating aspects of the town’s past. Here are stories of UFO sightings, a world-famous Roman coin hoard, local inns, a network of underground tunnels and much more.Illustrated throughout, the book will appeal to local residents, visitors and those interested in the town’s history.
