Gretel le MaîtreHOST
This year coasted the army back eastward into the mouth of the Frome, and went up everywhere, as widely as they would into Dorsetshire.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
often was an army collected against them but as soon as they were about to come together then were they ever through something or other put to flight and their enemies always in the end had the victory Another time they lay in the Isle of Wight and fed themselves, meanwhile, from Hampshire and Sussex.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
It's almost like, imagine Jabba the Hutt sitting on the Isle of Wight, gorging himself, reaching out and plucking people, like an image from a Grimm's fairy tale where a giant plucks people and pops them in his mouth.
Jen GaleHOST
There are a couple of lovely schemes, um, that I'm aware of in the southwest.
Jen GaleHOST
So one in Frome where they go and collect business food waste and take it to a...
Jen GaleHOST
They've got these big, enormous tumbler composters in the local park, and they turn that into compost that can then be sold back to the local community.
Jen GaleHOST
And there's another project in Bristol, I think, where they do similar with households and, um, you pay, um, an amount each month, I assume, for them to come and collect your food waste, and then you, you then get compost, bags of compost, um, directly back at no extra charge 'cause you paid for the subscription.
Mike DHOST
The largest Roman hoard ever found in Britain buried sometime around 270 CE.
Mike DHOST
The Frome hoard found in Somerset in 2010 held over 52,000 coins.
Mike DHOST
These are not lost purses.
Mike DHOST
These are life savings put in the ground by people who never came back for them.
Greg JamesHOST

Clive CatterallNARRATOR
night of June 27, or rather early in the morning of June 28, we reached the town of Frome, very wet and miserable, for the rain had come on again, and all the roads were quagmires.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
From this next day we pushed on once more to Wells, where we spent the night and the whole of the next day, to give the men time to get their clothes dry, and to recover themselves after their privations.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
In the forenoon a parade of our Wiltshire regiment was held in the cathedral close, when Monmouth praised it, as it well deserved, for the soldierly progress made in so short a time.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
Yet what have we, his servants, wrought for him in this matter? Have we not seen prelatist churches, churches of form and of show, where the creature is confounded with the Creator? Have we not seen them, I say? And have we not forborne to sweep them away, and so lent our sanction to them? There is the sin of the lukewarm and backsliding generation.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
There is the cause why the Lord should look coldly upon his people.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
Lo, at Shepton and at Frome we have left such churches behind us.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
At Glastonbury, too, we have spared those wicked walls which were reared by idolatrous hands of old.
Francis BourgeoisGUEST
And I, I know, I know, so that was, I, I know exactly where that one was.
Francis BourgeoisGUEST
Um, there's, uh, uh, near, um, the Vine Tree where Jenson Button used to go in Frome, uh, couple of, you go down, I think it's Rodden Road, and then there's a, a side street where my friend Tiger used to live, and then it was parked up on a driveway one day.
Will ChandlerHOST
[laughs]
Francis BourgeoisGUEST
And it's, it's those, just even, uh, looking at the combinations, I can sometimes remember the day.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
Whilst we were thus rapidly and effectively organizing ourselves into a regiment, other bodies of peasantry, more or less disciplined, had marched into the market square, and had taken up their position there.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
Those on our right had come from Frome and Redstock, in the north of Somersetshire.
Clive CatterallNARRATOR
and were a mere rabble armed with flails hammers and other such weapons with no common sign of order or cohesion save the green boughs which waved in their hat-bands the body upon our left who bore a banner amongst them announcing that they were men of dorset were fewer in number but better equipped having a front rank like our own entirely armed with muskets the good townsmen of taunton with their wives and their daughters had meanwhile been assembling on the balconies and at the windows which overlooked the square whence they might have a view of the pageant the grave square-bearded broad-clothed burghers and their portly dames in velvet and three-piled taffeta looked down from every post a vantage while here and there a pretty timid face peeping out from a puritan coif made good the old claim that taunton excelled in beautiful women as well as in gallant men the sidewalks were crowded with the commoner folk old white-bearded wool-workers stern-faced matrons country lasses with their shawls over their heads and swarms of children who cried out with their troubled voices for king monmouth and the protestant succession by my faith said sir jervis reining back his steed until he was abreast of me our square-toed friends need not be in such post haste to get to heaven when they have so many angels among them on earth gad's wounds are they not beautiful never a patch or a diamond amongst them and yet what would not our faded bells of the mall or the piazza give for their innocence and freshness nay for heaven's sake do not smile and bow at them said i these courtesies may pass in london but they may be misunderstood among simple somerset maidens and their hot-headed hard-handed kinsfolk

The hardest part was figuring out where to go.
Andy WilmanGUEST
And the way they greeted each other, because the two, Thomas and James, get starstruck.
Andy WilmanGUEST
Whereas Francis is from Frome, which is where Jensen's from.
Andy WilmanGUEST
Yeah.
Andy WilmanGUEST
So he can go, yeah, yeah.
Oleg MarkovHOST
I'm sure Rob doesn't even know.
Ollie GealeHOST
No, well, but everyone listening will be aware of our sicko levels of interest that we have got in a little team that we thought was called Frome Town.
Ollie GealeHOST
Yes.
Ollie GealeHOST
We have been pulled up on several occasions by the good people of Somerset that it's Frome.
Ollie GealeHOST
Frome, like broom.
Ollie GealeHOST
Now it's spelt F-R-O-M-E, so I reckon they're still wrong, but that's fine.
Ollie GealeHOST
Apparently it's Frome Town.
Ollie GealeHOST
And we have expressed interest in one day buying the club.
