On the east and southern sides of Somerset, scattered about among the hills that surround the great central plain, there are quite a few brisk little market towns, of varying degrees of interest. Frome is quite a large place in a small way - if the expression is allowable. It possesses some eleven thousand souls, variously occupied in the printing, brewing, and woollen businesses. The town is not very remarkable for beauty, but the church is rather exceptional. Originally there was a Saxon church on its site, with St Aldhelm as its founder. Of this nothing remains. The Norman successor is represented by a doorway, and the rest of the church, as seen to-day, was built during the period covered by the thirteenth to the fifteenth century. The number of side chapels is remarkable. Shepton Mallet, near Wells, is smaller, but possesses the County Gaol, transferred from Taunton some years ago, since which time the old Taunton gaol has been used as a drill hall and headquarters for the 5th (T.F.) Somerset Ligh Infantry.
