Seventeenth Century Feast
24 November 1987. This is part of the Food Frome film project. Recipes have been collected, producers interviewed and filmed, and the cooking, serving and eating of the feast itself have now been filmed.
The film aims to replicate the kind of food the Duke of Monmouth may have received in Frome in 1685, just a few days before his defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor, the last battle to take place on English soil.
We hope that the film will be shown at the 2008 Frome Festival.
