  • Historian lifts the coffin lid on the history of undertakers A local historian who specialises in death studies will give a talk at Christ Church about the origins of the undertaking trade in eighteenth-century England. The talk, A Flock of Ravens, will examine the 18th-century origins of the funeral trade using imagery and written accounts of the period and will take place on Saturday 31st January. Organisers say, “Expect a journey from the familiar to the extraordinary as Dr Dan O’Brien discusses funerary innovations, unusual traditions and unexpected rivalries that defined an important century in the history of funeral work.” Dr Dan O’Brien lives locally and is a research fellow at the Centre for Death and Society at the University of Bath. His research focuses on death in 18th-century England and popular perceptions of the undertaking trade. Read more on our website.

  • Frome’s fine form continues with emphatic victory. Rugby: Saturday 17th January Frome RFC 88 – 7 Marlborough II Frome RFC welcomed Marlborough II to the Lane at the weekend looking to continue their good run of form. Frome started strongly and after a line out winger Archie Coleman burst through a gap to touch down after two minutes; the conversion being added by full-back, Max Stickley. Straight from the kick-off, Frome collected the ball and a well-placed kick, and bounce of the ball was collected by Coleman to score his second try. Frome continued to press and increased their lead when captain Alex Mallon picked up from the back of a scrum to crash over. Frome continued to pin the visitors back with astute kicking from fly-half Simon Westlake and Max Stickley keeping Marlborough pinned in their own half. Read more on our website.

  • Somerset Council to consult on Frome school structure. An informal consultation into whether to change the schooling system in Frome to a two-tier structure is due to run next month. The consultation by Somerset Council will seek views on whether to change 18 Frome schools from a three-tier structure into a two-tier system. A two-tier system would mean pupils would join a primary school aged four before moving to secondary school in Year 7. The majority of schools in Frome currently operate a three-tier system, with pupils attending first schools (Reception to Year 4), middle schools (Years 5 to 8) and an upper school (Years 9 to 13). Conversations about the possibility of moving to a two-tier system first began as far back as 2023 and have been ongoing ever since. The informal consultation will begin after the February half-term break and will ask whether the community would support a move to a two-tier education system. Read more on our website.

  • Frome singers give comfort to the dying. People receiving end-of-life care are being offered moments of peace by the Frome branch of a national choir. Frome’s Companion Voices sing lullabies around bedsides to bring calm and joy, offering a free service to anyone who requests it for their loved one. The group is led by Celia Libera, who is keen to hear from potential singers. She said, “All we ask for is the ability to hold a tune and blend your voice with those of other people.” The local group currently has 10 members and meets on the third Monday of the month in The Good Heart on Palmer Street, with additional meetings held in members’ homes. Companion Voices generally offer three to five of their members to sing at a bedside and are careful to ensure that the request comes from a close relative or carer, so that they can be confident it is what the dying person would want.
