Today myself and 6 of my friends visited Chris’ shop on our first visit to Knaresborough. Chris was kind enough to tell us some super interesting stories and the histories of some items and we really loved hearing about it! Made our day!!

Beautiful creative gem of a place - from the seriously eye catching windows you can't miss driving past up Cold Bath road to the range of absolute one-off antiques Chris Holmes stocks! Spotted recently: Saxon stone head originally from a sacred well; lead planters from Blenheim Palace; wooden painted religious icon hands containing the bones of saints through to fantastic large heavy industrial Pigeon Holes and original artwork! You will be blown away and inspired!
