Ibi nundinae tenebantur ab anno 1029, mercatus autem ab anno 1270. Oppidum saeculo XVIII ineunte frequentatissimum commercio lanae locupletatum est. Daniel Defoe sic descripsit: The town of Froom ... is so prodigiously increased within these last twenty or thirty years, that they have built a new church, and so many new streets of houses, and those houses are so full of inhabitants, that Frome is now reckoned to have more people in it, than the city of Bath, and some say, than even Salisbury itself, and if their trade continues to increase for a few years more, as it has done for those past, it is very likely to be one of the greatest and wealthiest inland towns in England. Ecclesia S. Ioannis saeculo XII incepta, usque in saeculum XV aucta, medio saeculo XIX magna parte restructa est. Ecclesiae haud modestae Congregationalistarum anno 1707, Baptistarum anno 1813, Methodistarum anno 1834 aedificatae sunt. Anglicanorum ecclesia S. Trinitatis anno 1837 ab Henrico Goodridge architecto Bathoniensi designata est, vitris ab Eduardo Burne-Jones additis; ecclesiam autem Christi Georgius Allen Underwood, Bathoniensis et ille, anno 1844 designavit, vitro a Carolo Kempe addito.
