Frome Dissenters Cemetery
Frome Dissenters' Cemetery

WHO IS BURIED IN THE CEMETERY?

Whilst built principally for the Dissenting Congregations (Baptist and Congregational) you can see from the Registers that burials have been performed by incumbents of every Church in Frome and also from further afield. People are buried here from every church in Frome. The church or group they belonged to is not recorded in the registers. However, their faith is indicated by whoever performed the ceremony: The vicar of Christchurch, the curate of St. John's, the vicar of Holy Trinity, St. Mary's, as well as all of the dissenting churches, the Methodist churches, and even people of no denomination. Today, as always, there is no restriction as to who can be buried here. There are Methodists buried here, both Wesleyan, Primitive and United. Interestingly Wesleyans are not technically non-conformists or dissenters, because they still attended the Anglican churches in the town. The registers of the cemetery record who is buried here. CD versions are available to enable researchers to enquire about relatives whose final resting place is here. The Cemetery contains over 6200 burials and interred cremated remains.
