About Us
Originally the Police Station and Courthouse, the Museum is opposite St. Mary's Church in the centre of Axminster. Visitors may discover the old police cells which have now been incorporated into the Arts Cafe adjacent to the Museum.
The former court room upstairs, houses the majority of the collection. This room hasa model of Weycroft Mill a prominent landmark where the main road from Chard crosses the River Axe on the northern approaches to the town. There are two smaller rooms which have as their theme, Axminster carpets and agricultural and associated trades.
