The museum at Watchet is situated on the ground floor of the old Market House – the top floor being the Holy Cross Chapel, a Celtic Centre. The museum displays fossils found locally, including an ichthyosaurus and a mammoth’s tooth, as well as Stone Age tools, maritime exhibits and a working model railway. Also on display are replica coins illustrating the town’s history as a royal mint in the 10th and 11th Centuries, when Watchet produced coins for kings Ethelred, Canute, and William the Conqueror.
