FROME (The), a river of Dorset. It rises in the downs near Corscomb, not far from the boundary with Somerset; and runs about 35 miles, south-eastward, past Maiden-Newton, Frampton, and Stratton, to Dorchester, -and eastward thence, past Wansford and Wareham, to Poole harbour. It receives numerous small affluents, and is largely augmented by the Piddle.
