Crewkerne Heritage Centre Museums

Crewkerne Heritage Centre is a museum set in the picturesque South Somerset Town of Crewkerne.

Crewkerne Heritage Centre opened in 2000 with the aid of Heritage Lottery funding and is run by volunteers. The museum is contained in an historic house, displaying an 18th century front onto Market Square, and concealing an older dwelling behind.

The museum illustrates the long and interesting history of Crewkerne showing how people lived and worked in times past. A permanent display tells how the Flax and Linen industry played a part in the development of Crewkerne during the 18th and 19th centuries, with much of the evidence remaining today.

There are several temporary exhibitions a year.
