“The town of Froom… is so prodigiously increased within the last Twenty or Thirty Years, that they have built a New Church, and so many New Streets of Houses, and those Houses are so full of inhabitants, that Frome is now reckoned to have more people in it, than the city of Bath… if their Trade continues to increase… it is very likely to be one of the greatest and wealthiest Inland Towns in England.” Daniel Defoe
