The Frome Holy Trinity in Frome, Somerset, England was built in 1837. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in 1837, by Henry Goodridge, as a Commissioners' church in a Gothic revival style.[1][2]
Emma Sheppard, workhouse reformer was interred in the churchyard in 1871.
In 2015 refurbishment work included new underfloor heating along with improved lighting and audio visual capabilities.[3][4][5]
The parish and benefice of Frome (Holy Trinity) are within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]
It is a stone building. Nine of the stained glass windows were designed by Edward Burne-Jones.[1] The figures are powerfully drawn, with vibrant colours and leafy backgrounds. They were made and installed by Morris & Co., between 1880 and 1918. A pamphlet available in the church has illustrations of all the windows with details of each commission.[7]
The only stained glass windows which were not designed by Burne-Jones are placed above the altar and were made and installed by the Horwood Brothers[8] in 1875, a local firm from Great Elm, to commemorate the first vicar, Rev Alfred Daniel. Sadly they did not have the same expertise of Morris & Co; some of the painting of the faces has faded.[9]
Singer & Co installed an iron rood screen across the nave 1903–06; this has now been repositioned within a side chapel.
