Welcome to Oldford

Oldford is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. The village is situated on the outskirts of the town of Frome and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Oldford is a quiet and peaceful place, with a population of just over 200 people. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 11th century when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

One of the most notable features of Oldford is its beautiful church, St. Peter's. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a stunning example of Norman architecture and is well worth a visit. The church is still in use today and holds regular services, as well as hosting events and concerts throughout the year.

Oldford is also home to a number of small businesses, including a farm shop and a pub. The pub, The Three Horseshoes, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. It serves a range of traditional pub food and local ales, and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The farm shop, Oldford Farm, sells a range of locally sourced produce, including meat, vegetables, and dairy products. It is a great place to pick up some fresh ingredients for a home-cooked meal.
