Church of St John the Baptist, Frome, Medieval parish church in Frome, England.
The Church of St John the Baptist features Norman architectural elements, carved stones in the tower base, and intricate sculptures throughout its structure.
Founded in 685 AD by St Aldhelm, the church underwent major modifications in 1852 under vicar William James Early Bennett's leadership.
The church contains stained glass windows created by Charles Eamer Kempe and multiple stone carvings produced by James Forsyth between 1860 and 1866.
The church opens daily from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM for visits and prayer, with regular Sunday services at 8:45 AM and monthly administrative sessions.
The Via Crucis carved in the churchyard displays the Stations of the Cross, an unusual feature for Anglican churches in England.
