I live in Northamptonshire and visit Finchingfield Antiques about once a year and buy very little. In March 2018 I telephoned the owner from another part of the country and asked him about buying two sedan clocks from a local shop to me. The clocks were damaged but 'probably' repairable, but not being an expert I did not have a clue. The owner was most helpful and very knowledgable. He did not make one penny from the very useful information he gave me!

Finchingfield Antiques is a beautiful shop run by a wonderful, friendly and well respected couple who have been in the village for many years, previously running a very successful restaurant. Peter and Mary are very well liked and always very entertaining to talk to also. Fantastic place, fantastic people.

Whenever I go to Finchingfield I always pop into this brilliant antique shop for a look around. It has soooooo much interesting stuff and the building has loads of tiny rooms and hallways so it's like a maze/treasure trove of antiques. It's not even really that expensive. Well worth an hour of your day.
