Dovery Manor Museum

Dovery Manor, is a fine example of a small 15th C manor house, a prestigious dwelling, partially made of Welsh stone, with handsome oak beamed ceilings, richly traceried windows and stone fireplaces.

The Museum explores the history of the village and the poets and painters who visited, lived and worked in Porlock. It tells the story through the unique collection of paintings, porcelain and artefacts housed in the magnificent Great Hall and the upper room.

On the steep and twisting staircase there are painted figures in the costume of the 1500s. Just off the upper room is the ‘garderobe’, an early lavatory.
The Manor’s beautiful Solar is used for special exhibitions, talks, plays and musical events.
