The first new church to be built was that at East Woodlands now dedicated to St Katharine.
The church was completed in 1714, consecrated in 1811 and became a separate parish after 1872.
About that time it was restored by the architect John Loughborough Pearson.
Older records often refer to this church as the 'New Church'.
Vicar: Revd Colin Alsbury
-
The parish church of Christ Church was built in 1818.
At the time of its consecration it refered to as the 'New Free Church' not because of being a 'Free Church'
in the sense of non-conformist, but because the seats were free of rent.
Priest in charge: Revd Neil Maxted
-
The church of Holy Trinity is unusual in that it
faces the opposite way to the usual orientation of parish churches: the main entrance is at the East end on
Trinity Street. It was built in 1838.
Vicar: Revd Rob Martin
Curate: Revd Jane Burgess
-
The church of St Mary the Virgin built in 1864 is the only parish church on the north side of the river in Frome.
The division of the ancient parish into four parishes in 1862 defined the boundaries for Woodlands, Christ Church
and Holy Trinity. The division of St Mary's parish from that of St John the Baptist followed later.
Vicar: Revd David Barge
