Witham Friary

Deeply rooted in monastic heritage, this Somerset village holds a significant place in English history. Witham Friary, near Frome, was the site of England's first Carthusian priory, established in 1178. Its ancient church and peaceful lanes offer a tangible link to a bygone era. This small, rural community, backed by the scenic Mendip Hills, offers a uniquely quiet and historic experience.
