Allhallows Museum occupies the oldest building in Honiton, a former chapel with origins before 1327. Inside you'll find the largest collection of Honiton lace in the world, tracing its history from the 17th century, alongside the fossilised Honiton Hippo remains uncovered during bypass construction. The Murch Gallery displays Honiton Pottery and finds from local archaeological digs, while other rooms hold a Victorian dolls house, war memorabilia and a display on Allhallows School. Run entirely by volunteers, it suits visitors keen on local heritage and curiosities. The museum sits in Honiton, East Devon, close to Honiton station just 0.2 miles away, with 32 bookable places to stay within 5 miles for those wanting to make a longer visit of it.
