Long Melford Shops


Long Melford is almost as well-known for its shops as it is for its splendid architecture. There is an astonishing variety of places to buy quality goods of all sorts, including clothes, china, furnishings, works of art, books, kitchenware and food, as well as the antiques for which the village is famous.

Most of the businesses are independent, managed by their owners, and standards of service reflect that. You can get away from the restrictions of national chains, and find a more interesting range of products. The staff even have time to talk to you, and are experts in their own lines.

Shown below is a selection of the many shops Long Melford has to offer. To refine your search select a category within the navigation.
