Down the old back streets of Frome, in a church that was built to serve the local weavers and cloth workers in 1837, we are lucky to have what is perhaps the most impressive collection of Burne-Jones stained glass in the South West. A set of nine windows designed by the famous Pre-Raphaelite artist, Edward Burne-Jones and manufactured in the workshops of William Morris between 1880 and 1903.

The colours are even more lumunious in person, so do stop by for a visit should you be in the Frome area. The Church is usually open during office hours (9.30-12.30 weekdays) and can be accessed via the adjoining Trinity Hall if the main doors are closed. Guided tours are also conducted during the Frome Festival each year.We have produced a booklet outlining the history of the windows and their recent cleaning and restoration by Holy Well Glass, which is available to purchase for £5.00.
