“The Light in Selwood” – Tour of St John’s

Come and join us on a tour around St John the Baptist church, Grade II* listed, and the final resting place of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells in C17. Built originally as a small mission church by St Aldhelm in AD685, the church is a major architectural and artistic feature of Frome. The external Via Crucis approach from the North East is unique. The tour will start with a 15 minute introductory talk by local historian Michael McGarvie, followed by a walkabout tour. Also in church will be displays on the theme ‘Making, Shaping & Creating Frome’. Light refreshments will be on sale.
