Frome is a medium-sized town in Somerset, England, near the Mendip Hills. From AD 950 to 1650, it was larger than Bath, 13 miles (21 km) to the north. The town originally grew due to the weaving industry, and weavers' cottages can still be found, contrasting with Georgian terraces. The town has grown substantially in recent years but still retains its centre, most of which falls within a conservation area. Notable modern day attractions include the museum, the Cheese and Grain hall where many bands play, and the restored Rook Lane Chapel. It is unevenly built on high ground above the River Frome, which is here crossed by a stone bridge of five arches. It was formerly called Frome or Froome Selwood, after the neighbouring forest of Selwood; and the country surround is still richly wooded and picturesque. Population of the urban district in 1901 was 11,057.
