Our first exhibition!

Crediton's archive collection will be made publicy available for the first time.

Old postcard showing cattle in a street — The April Great Market in Crediton High Street circa 1900. This image is one of many showing the market that was held in the High Street every year until 1952.

The Crediton Area History and Museum Society was founded in May 1984 and we hope to celebrate our 25th year by opening a public archive at the Old Town Hall.

Our first display will be during the Crediton Festival, which runs throughout May.

We intend to provide a study area for research where our archive material can be made available.

The museum will be staffed by volunteers. Contact us to find out more.
