The Mersea Museum occupies purpose-built accomodation very near to the village church of St.Peter and St.Paul in the centre of West Mersea. It was established in 1976. There are collections representing local; history, social history, natural history and geology, with many local photographs, some oral history, family history and parish records. There are items of marine history, local engineering and costumes. The John Leather Memorial Collection is also housed here.
There is a large outdoor area, for disabled person parking, which has on display an anchor hauled up from 'The Barrow Deep' by a local fisherman, an unidentified American aircraft propeller, also raised by a local fisherman, and a K6 'phone box removed here from its original position and looking in need of some TLC.
The entrance gate to the compound is at N 51° 46.524 E 000° 54.689.
