Allhallows Museum in Honiton houses some impressive collections reflecting the town's interesting history. This includes Honiton lace and pottery displays, which are some of the most comprehensive in the world.

It is run by hardworking and dedicated volunteers, including Museum Curator Margaret Lewis B.E.M, who showed us around.

The museum is free to enter and has lots of activities for children to enjoy - including a 'hippo hunt', with little models hidden amongst the displays.

On Friday's there is often a lace making demonstration, where you can watch the intricate art form as it is practiced and ask questions.
