Crewkerne and District Museum is a small local museum in Crewkerne, Somerset, England. It is part of a wider heritage centre which includes local archives and a meeting room.[1]
The museum opened in 2000 in an old house with an 18th-century frontage. It was restored with the help of grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Somerset County Council, South Somerset District Council and Crewkerne Town Council.[1]
The development of Crewkerne during the 18th and 19th centuries, with particular emphasis on the flax and linen industry is illustrated with a permanent display.[2] Other collections relate to local archaeology, Coins and Medals, Costume and Textiles, Fine Art, Music, Personalities, Science and Technology, Social History, Weapons and War.[3]
In the summer of 2010 a travelling exhibition Treasures from the Earth was hosted by the museum, with a series of archaeology themed events. Local materials, specific to Crewkerene were added including Roman coins and brooches and information on and pictures of the mosaics found at nearby Lopen[4] and Dinnington.[5]
