Witham Friary is a small English village and civil parish located between the towns of Frome and Bruton in the county of Somerset.

It is in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the ancient Forest of Selwood.

[7] Excavations in 1921 revealed buttressed wall foundations and building rubble including glazed roof and floor tiles.

It has a three-bay nave and continuous one bay apsidal chancel, built of local limestone rubble, supported on each side by four massive flying buttresses.

[6] The former railway station at Witham was the end of a branch line through Shepton Mallet, Wells and Cheddar.

Part of the redundant line that ran to Shepton Mallet now forms the East Somerset Railway.

The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning.

For local government purposes, since 1 April 2023, the village comes under the unitary authority of Somerset Council.

[13] It is also part of the Frome and East Somerset county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
