The Blake Museum Bridgwater is established:

to rescue from loss and destruction the relics of our ancestors;
to collect, preserve, conserve and to show relics of history relating (principally but not exclusively) to Bridgwater and its immediate surroundings;
to show visitors that Bridgwater is not indifferent to its own history;
to interest visitors in what has happened in Bridgwater since it was granted its first Royal Charter in the reign of King John;
to give the townspeople of Bridgwater pride in their past;
to reveal that great events have taken place within the town and adjacent areas and set them in the context of the history of England;
to honour the lives of great men and women who have lived or been associated with the town, and, in particular but not exclusively, Robert Blake.
