Frocester was the site of a Roman settlement, on a Roman road which ran from Cirencester to Arlingham. The remains of a Roman villa have been excavated in the grounds of Frocester Court, and another near the remains of St Peter’s Church. The name of the village, first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Frowecestre, means "Roman town on the Frome", although the River Frome is just beyond the present northern boundary of the parish.
