Frome (pronounced ) is a small town in Somerset, England, near the Mendip Hills. The town originally grew due to the weaving industry, and weavers' cottages can still be found, while grand Georgian terraces also grace the town. The town has grown substantially in recent years but still retains its charming centre most of which falls within a conservation area. Notable modern day attractions include the museum, and the Cheese and Grain hall (known locally as the "Cheesy Groin") where many bands play.
