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.
