Crewkerne is rich in history and heritage and the name Crewkerne derives from the old British ‘cruc’, meaning a hill and ‘aern’, a house or storehouse, and locals still refer to Crucaern.
Crewkerne has a long and interesting history. It once had the status of being a Saxon royal mint, was an important stopping place for travellers and its thriving textile industry brought prosperity. Founded in 1988, the museum illustrates these things, but equally shows how ordinary local people lived and worked at various periods.
