Tucked behind the church is a local independent museum covering Mersea from Roman times but with an emphasis on the traditional local activities of fishing, oystering, wild fowling and boat building.

For such a small island Mersea has a remarkably rich history, this museum displays archaeological finds and recounts stories from residents past and present. Roman remains, tiles and pottery stand alongside Victoria curios. Step back in time in the beach hut to see how people holidayed in the past while the fisherman's cottage shows how the island's seafarers made a living from the ocean. Kids will love answering quizzes and sketching images of local wildlife.

We are 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. Computers in the Resource Centre can be used to access over 30,000 images, slideshows, articles, parish records, local census contents, audio files, video. Children are welcome, with puzzles and quizzes available.
