Mersea Island Museum
The Mersea Island Museum is an independent museum
established in 1976 and occupying purpose-built premises in the
centre of West Mersea, just to the east of the Parish Church. The
traditional local activities of fishing, oystering, wild fowling and
boat building are represented. The reconstruction within the museum
of a typical weather-boarded fisherman's cottage provides an
interior display centred on a Victorian coal-fired kitchen range,
with adjoining facilities for washing clothes using old-fashioned
manual equipment. Need
