It is situated on the Arbury Estate, the birth place of Victorian novelist George Eliot and stock a range of her novels and related literature.

The books are housed in a range of old farm buildings, we opened to the public in March 2004, have continued to expand and plan to open more barns and stables through 2006. We have 4000sq feet in total, a large car park, plenty of seating and coffee/tea/cold drinks & cookies are on sale.
