Keith Hockin runs an antiques shop right in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, and it's genuinely worth carving out a couple of hours to explore properly.
You'll find furniture, decorative arts, and smaller objects spread throughout, each with its own story behind it. Whether you're after something particular or just browsing, there's real satisfaction in the hunt here—the dealer clearly knows how to spot interesting pieces across different periods and styles.
Stow has worked as a market town and trading center for centuries, and you can feel that commercial heritage alive in the streets today through all the antique shops and independent businesses. Being centrally located means once you've finished browsing you can easily drift into nearby galleries, catch another shop or two, or grab a coffee or pint at one of the local spots. It fits naturally into any North Cotswolds trip, especially if you enjoy the process of sifting through things people have collected and passed on over the years. You'll see everyone here from serious collectors hunting for specific pieces to casual visitors just enjoying the atmosphere, and there's genuinely something to appeal to both.
