Bishop of Crediton Becomes Museum’s First Patron

As we celebrate the anniversary of the museum’s opening this July, we are delighted to announce the appointment of our very first Museum Patron.
The Right Reverend Moira Astin, Bishop of Crediton, has kindly accepted our invitation to become Patron of Exmouth Museum. As Bishop of Crediton, whose episcopal area includes Exmouth, Bishop Moira welcomed the opportunity to support the museum and join our growing family of Trustees, volunteers and supporters. Her appointment marks an important milestone in the museum’s development and reflects the growing recognition of the museum’s role in preserving and sharing Exmouth’s rich history and heritage.
We are honoured to have Bishop Moira’s support and hope this is the
beginning of an exciting new chapter for the museum. In the coming weeks, we also look forward to welcoming additional Trustees as we continue to strengthen our team and build for the future.
As we celebrate another year since the museum first opened its doors, we thank everyone who has contributed to its success and look forward with confidence to the opportunities ahead.
