About Crownleigh House

Crownleigh House is a historic Grade II listed building in England, with a distinguished literary past. For many years, the house was home to a remarkable collection of rare, collectable and scholarly books from every century of printing.

The shelves of Crownleigh House held works spanning the humanities, from early printing, Greek and Latin texts and classical antiquity to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, British history and topography. Among them were some of the rarest and most remarkable books ever printed, gathered under one roof for readers, collectors and scholars.

Today, Crownleigh House carries that spirit into a new generation. A cultural home for curious creatives, Crownleigh brings together books, ideas, conversation, style and good company.

More than a house of books, Crownleigh House has always been a place for people, ideas and conversation. A place to discover something new, share a thought, linger a little longer and see where a good book might lead.
