The Fitzroy Barometer – This barometer was originally ‘loaned’ to mousehole in 1854 by Admiral Fitzroy, founder of the Meteorological Office. Its purpose was to provide data to the Met Office to improve storm warnings but also to give the fishermen of the village warning of pending bad weather. In 2009, the Meteorological Office gifted the barometer to Mousehole Harbour Authority.
