Wenlock Books is an independent bookshop, situated in a beautiful and character rich 15th century, Grade II listed building in the centre of Much Wenlock in Shropshire. We pride ourselves on excellent personal service and efficiency, utilising the latest technology to enable us to best serve our customers.

At Wenlock Books we offer the complete reading experience; you can take a seat and look through our wide selection of contemporary fiction and fantastic children's books, after that you can peruse our wide range of politics, history, 'green' and local interest books, and we also have an extensive and eminently browsable second-hand selection.

We are happy to make tea and coffee for browsers, and ask if you would support our chosen charity the Deaf Africa Fund by making a donation towards the cost of your refreshments. Our coffee and tea are Fairtrade and organic, our milk is organic and our cakes are freshly made by the local WI. We also keep organic lollipops which are free from colours, additives and sugar, if you have small children with you who would like a healthy treat! On Saturdays, you'll find the weekend papers on the table, too.

Deaf Africa Fund

During April we would like to invite you to have a coffee break at the shop to support the Deaf Africa Fund. Come alone for a quiet browse and a peaceful cuppa, or (but warn us first if possible!) bring some friends and have a coffee morning! All money raised will go towards the Deaf Africa Fund's work with children and young people in East Africa. The bookshop has a longstanding commitment to this charity, which was founded by Miss Doreen Woodford, who lives in Wenlock. Miss Woodford works tirelessly on behalf of the deaf, and still travels to Africa several times a year to work "on the ground". Every bit of money we raise is put to excellent use and we do ask you wholeheartedly to support this charity if you can.

If you have any spare energy, time or money and would like to help us raise money for Deaf Africa, do please let us know.

You can
buy Christmas cards
(I know it's early!)
to support the charity.

We pride ourselves on being a community bookshop, and this is very important to us; we are as dedicated to our community as we are to stocking the very best selection of books.

Wenlock Books caters for all ages and wide interests; we have three reading groups that meet in the bookshop regularly, and we also frequently hold events for children.

Wenlock Books is one of the best bookshops around, and you don't just have to take our word for it; in May 2006, Wenlock Books was judged to be the Independent Bookseller of the Year by the Booksellers Association of the United Kingdom & Ireland.

We hope that you can find some time to come and visit us in the shop to discover for yourself the delights of Wenlock Books.
