Bookshop

The Crooked House

Catching Lives Bookshop

For a local second-hand bookshop look no further than Catching Lives Books, the fund-raising bookshop for Catching Lives which is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers.

 

We occupy the most photographed building in Canterbury after the Cathedral! The Crooked House (also known as Sir John Boys House) is a delightfully skewed 17th century half-timbered three story building at the extreme end of Palace Street. It has projecting jetties over Palace Street and Kings Street and is opposite the famous Kings School.

 

We have a huge range of second-hand and collectable books and run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers.

Opening Hours

The Book Shop is open daily from 10.30-5 pm

See you soon!
