About Mells

Mells rests serenely in the Somerset countryside, a place where time seems to flow with a gentler current. It lies 5.1 km west of Frome (from Frome: bearing 278°T, OS grid ST 725 487), and is situated north-north-east of Chantry village. The village green, a soft expanse of emerald, invites quiet contemplation, especially when the late afternoon sun casts long, painterly shadows from the ancient trees that guard its perimeter. At the heart of Mells stands the parish church of St. Andrew, its venerable stones whispering tales of centuries past, a silent witness to the ebb and flow of village life. The River Mells, a modest ribbon of water, winds its way through the landscape, its quiet murmur a constant companion to the surrounding fields, which in spring are often a vibrant patchwork of wildflowers. Mells has long been associated with the poet Siegfried Sassoon, whose presence lent a certain literary grace to the village's enduring charm.
