Bishop's Frome
Bishop's Frome (or Bishops Frome) is a village and parish in the Radlow hundred of Herefordshire. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 834.[1] It is 13 miles north-east of the city of Hereford, ten miles west of Malvern, Worcestershire and five miles south of Bromyard. As the name indicates, it is on the River Frome.
Local agriculture includes the growing of hops and cider apples and wine is made nearby at the Frome Valley Vineyard.
The parish church, St Mary's, contains a font over 700 years old and is approached through a handsome lychgate. A memorial in the church features the carved figure of a knight in armour, sword in hand and a lion at his feet.
The village gives its name to the Bishop's Frome Limestone which outcrops locally.[2]
Bishop's Frome is also home to Henney's cider company Limited.
