Bookshop Description

Come and see its black and white beams, unique cork oak cladding, fascinating carved faces, is one really the head of Anne Boleyn and do we really have a ghost ? Come and soak up the history, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in our little cafe, explore the nooks and crannies, browse our shelves, and who knows you might even buy a book or two, and help keep alive a real bookshop!
