Find out about: Allhallows Museum
About Us
Our museum building is the oldest in Honiton with an interesting history. Documents show a chapel called Allhallows existed here before 1327. From the 16th century the building was used by Allhallows School until 1938 when the school moved to Rousdon. The chancel of the old chapel is now the Murch Gallery which houses many items of local interest.
Allhallows Museum is a charity which is run entirely by volunteers. We work to preserve the heritage of the people of Honiton and its surrounding district and collect, conserve and display items which show how our ancestors used to live.
Facilities
The Gift Shop sells a variety of antique and modern Honiton lace, Honiton souvenirs, books, postcards and lace making equipment.
