Overview

Your host will be the Rev. Joseph Glanvill, Vicar of Frome, a world-renowned expert in witch-finding. He died in 1680, but will return to show you the places where the ghosts of Frome lurk.

You'll hear about the 12 men who were hanged, drawn and quartered - and whose cries can still be heard.

You'll hear talk of apparitions in Frome's network of medieval tunnels.

And you'll be walking past ancient pubs whose cellars make people feel unsettled and nervous.

For 1,300 years Frome has seen struggle and death, ghosts and ghouls. They're all around us, if you let yourself hear them.

The tour is mostly pavement, but our route will include some steep cobbled streets.

We meet at Christchurch Cemetery, Christ Church, Christchurch Street West, Frome BA11 1EH.
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early. The tour will start promptly for the convenience of our guests.
Look out for your guide, the Revd Joseph Glanvill, who will be bewigged and wearing clerical robes.

What's Included

  • The tour is limited to 10 people, to ensure maximum engagement for everyone.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
