NON-CONFORMISTS AND
DISSENTERS IN FROME
Frome has always had a strong history
of non-conformity and after the
introduction of the common prayer
book in 1662 the dissenters split from
the established church and formed
several alternative groups who met for
prayer and worship in the town.
When John Wesley came to Frome to
preach Methodism in 1753, there were
already a number of Nonconformist
groups meeting in the town, including
the Rook Lane Congregationalists, the
Quakers and the Baptists. Later came
the Methodists, Primitive Methodists,
the Zion Congregational Church and
the Wesleyan Methodists. cont’d
