BRIDGWATER’S HERITAGE



From Stone Age to Modern Age, there’s something for everyone.
Blake Museum is a 16th century house located in the heart of Bridgwater, a
historic market town and port, first mentioned as Brugie in the Domesday Book of
1086. The Museum was first opened to the public in 1926 and it is said that
Robert Blake, the town's most famous citizen, was born in the house in 1598.
With the collections covering Bridgwater and the surrounding areas, we have
fascinating displays waiting for you to discover.

shop, cataloguing, research, transcribing, assisting with school visits and
