[1] There is a large selection of photographs, glass negatives and art metalworks from the local company Messrs J.W.Singer & Sons Ltd.[2] John Webb Singer was born in Frome and established his foundry in 1851.

[3] In addition to church work, the company developed the facilities and expertise to create large statues, which were exported around the world.

The company was also responsible for the bronze statue of Boudica with her daughters in her war chariot (furnished with scythes after the Persian fashion), commissioned by Prince Albert and executed by Thomas Thornycroft.

It was not cast in bronze until 1902, 17 years after Thornycrofts death, and now stands next to Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament, London.
