Sir Roger Scruton Legacy

Sir Roger Scruton was a towering conservative—one of the sharpest minds of our time. Oldspeak Bookshop is grateful to his estate for passing us a collection from his personal library, a privilege we’re proud to share. 

These books aren’t for sale—they’re here for you to browse and take in. Part of the shelves he kept, they reflect the freedom, tradition and truth he championed through his work. Scruton held firm— upholding family, faith and nation against a shifting world, with a clarity that defined his conservatism. These volumes—classics and influences he valued—offer a glimpse into his world, free for anyone to sit with and ponder. 

His philosophy stood tall, rooted in what lasts. When Oldspeak opens, this collection strengthens us—part of Britain’s only centre-right bookshop, keeping the West’s core alive with Scruton’s enduring mark. 

Look through his books. See what shaped a conservative titan—and why these ideas still hold weight.
