About Fencing in Frome
Frome in Somerset was, for much of its history, a larger and wealthier town than nearby Bath, remaining so from around 950 AD until 1650 thanks to a thriving wool and cloth trade that by the 14th and 15th centuries accounted for a significant share of England's wool exports. Unlike much of feudal England, Frome had no lord of the manor, and its independent clothiers grew into a class of local capitalists whose wealth and self reliance gave the town a lasting reputation for independence, reflected today in its parish council, made up entirely of members of the Independents for Frome group rather than any national political party.
