Ye Olde Village Shoppe at Houghton and Wyton

Ye Olde Village Shoppe stands in The Green facing the Clock Tower. It takes up two houses from a terrace of five that were built in the seventeenth century and that were originally thatched.

For a village store, the range of foods on offer is impressive.
Following the closure of our adjacent Post Office, Ye Olde Village Shoppe stepped into the breach and opened this facility in-store.
Following the closure of our newsagents, Ye Olde Village Shoppe stepped into the breach and now carries and delivers newspapers and magazines.

Is there no end to their talents? - doubtful!

One of my personal favourite parts of Christmas around the village is seeing the windows of Ye Olde Village Shoppe. The Ebdale family and others always put on a wonderful festive show which I have shown here. As usual, if you click on the small photos, you will get a big'un.
