Canon Frome is a hamlet and small rural parish on the River Frome, 5 miles northwest of Ledbury, Herefordshire, England, with a population of 139.[1] Its most notable feature is Canon Frome Court which is a Grade II listed large red brick country house. The house was originally a sixteenth century moated manor house but was extensively rebuilt, incorporating earlier parts of the building, in 1786 and again in 1868. It was for 300 years the ancestral home of the Hopton family. It now forms a cohousing community.
