Frome St Quintin

Frome St Quintin is a village in the county of Dorset in southern England, situated approximately 11 miles (18 km) northwest of the county town Dorchester.

It is sited on an outcrop of greensand[2] near the head of the Frome valley, among chalk hills of the Dorset Downs.

Dorset County Council's latest (2013) estimate of the parish population is 150.

[1] There are naturally occurring springs in the area and the first habitation is likely to have been during the Roman era.
