ARCHITECTURE

Frome Dissenters' Cemetery is a fascinating place to visit. It has a charming Romanesque style mortuary chapel and an Italianate superintendent's cottage. The front and entrance onto Vallis Road is embellished with two handsome dressed stone gate piers, iron railings and walls, all of which are grade two-listed. The chapel and superintendents' cottage are constructed from local fieldstone and dressed limestone. The chapel is roofed in red clay tile, and the cottage in slate. The gate piers are of dressed stone, with iron railings and gates. The chapel aligns comfortably with the grand gateway onto Vallis Road. From further down the gently sloping cemetery there is a pleasing view over Whatcombe fields towards the river Frome and Innox Hill beyond.
