ABOUT US

Oldspeak Bookshop isn’t just a shop; it embodies a principled stance. As Britain’s only centre-right bookshop, we are dedicated to preserving the fundamental values of the West.

Our mission is to uphold the enduring concepts of freedom, order, and truth through literature that provokes thought and withstands the test of time. In a world increasingly adrift, Oldspeak Bookshop remains steadfast.

Founded out of a deep appreciation for England, Britain, and Western heritage, Oldspeak Bookshop emphasises conservative ideals and timeless principles. Our bookshop exists in direct response to the urgent need for a strong counter-narrative to the prevailing trends that threaten our core values.

Oldspeak is a sanctuary for those who cherish liberty over tyranny, heritage over hype, and reason over noise. From the works that built us and the classics that shaped us, to the voices that still stir us, we are committed to championing what is tried and true, showcasing literature that has shaped our identity and inspired countless others.

But our offerings at Oldspeak extend well beyond the pages of books that defend and celebrate the essence of Western culture; We also provide an array of local delights—including freshly baked goods, and wines sourced from nearby vineyards.

Nestled in the historic Hall Street of Long Melford, Oldspeak is rooted in a village steeped in British heritage, characterised by timber-framed buildings, tranquil lanes, and a resilient spirit that has endured for centuries. Conveniently located just minutes from Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, it serves as an appropriate home for a bookshop that stands unyielding.
