The Community Assembly of Frome (Froom) is located in a town and civil parish in Somerset which is part of the Kernow Territory. Frome sits on uneven high ground at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills and on the River Frome.
The name Frome comes from the Brythonic word *frāmā meaning fair, fine or brisk and describing the flow of the river. Frome was one of the largest towns in Somerset until the Industrial Revolution, and was larger than Bath from AD 950 until 1650. The town first grew due to the wool and cloth industry; it later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined.
Neolithic bowl barrows have been located in nearby Trudoxhill. At Murtry Hill, just 3 km to the north-west of Frome, a Neolithic long barrow 35m long by 19m wide was located with substantial upright stones. Within Frome itself, another long barrow was found, with pottery and a standing stone; its structure seemed similar to the Long Kennet barrow. Iron Age hill forts lie to the west and to the east.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
