Bath Street and Rook Lane Chapel

We start our tour at the top of Bath Street, looking at the rather wonderful Rook Lane Chapel, built in 1707 as a methodist church like so many of the religious buildings in Frome, which was a centre of non-conformist religious activity.

This building was empty for a long time and it is thankfully still preserved due to the efforts of a few enlightened souls. It became a renowned art venue for local artists and then was redeveloped by a firm of local architects. It is now part architect's offices and part art showcase. There have been some very successful exhibitions in this gallery and it was a prominent part of last summer's Somerset Art Week. Find out about the history of this remarkable building at: Rook Lane Chapel and Rook Lane Chapel Page 2

Looking just a bit further down Bath Street we can see some lovely traditional cottages, this is one of the best preserved rows of medieval houses in England.



As you walk down Bath Street on the right you can see the Victorian entrance to St. John's Church:
