We stopped in here after exiting the Tea Room for lunch. The shop is a wonderful place, full of bits and bobs and tons of goodies! The prices were vary reasonable and the amount of stock was incredible! There is a handmade chocolate counter to boot, aswell as a swathe of anything you could ever think you needed. Tea, gift sets, knock blacks, sweets, this really is a one stop shop, but laid out in a way that's not overwhelming. Truely a piece of stunning history.
