Watchet Market House Museum is situated at the junction of Esplanade and Market Street, housed in a historically significant two-storied stone building constructed between 1819 and 1820. Originally serving as a marketplace until the 1830s, the ground floor later transitioned into a shop, while the upper floor functioned as a mission church, now known as Holy Cross Chapel.
The museum offers a rich collection showcasing thousands of years of local history, including maritime, social, and military themes, alongside fascinating displays of fossils and artifacts from various historical periods. Visitors can explore the diverse exhibitions and learn about the compelling history of Watchet and its surroundings.
