St Andrew’s Church

St Andrew’s church is open all day and houses some interesting works of art by Munnings, Lutyens, Burne-Jones and Eric Gill, as well as a stained-glass window designed by William Nicholson.

In the churchyard, the grave of Siegfried Sassoon can be seen alongside that of his mentor and friend Monsignor Ronald Knox, both of whom spent time living in the village.

Frome Youth Town Band will be playing inside the churchyard 

Frome Town Youth Band was formed in 1997 to provide a facility for young people to learn & perform music in & around the local community.

From the first intake of beginners with just a handful of youngsters the band has grown to it’s present level of having in excess of 60 members, most of which are under the age of 16. Some as young as 8. There will always be an element of senior players as a foundation stone though.

 There will be demonstrations from local craftsmen & charity stalls in the churchyard.
