The building housing the museum is the oldest in Honiton, dating from 1327. It started life as part of a chapel when people from the `new town' grew tired of climbing the hill to St. Michael's. They got permission for a chapel in the town centre and called it All Saints or Allhallows. The first gallery is the chancel of the chapel, which was shortened last century to make room for St. Paul's, just outside. Fifty years ago the chapel was bought by the townspeople and opened as a museum. It has three galleries, Murch, Nicoll and Norman, in which are housed selections of an extensive lace collection as well as local antiquities. |
