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.
