The Church Hill antique centre is fantastic. It's a big antique shop housed in an old church. I…read moredon't know very much about antiques, and I am normally put off by the prices, but I spent absolutely ages in here: there was a lot of great stuff, mostly very affordable. The jewellery and accessories were especially good; there was a gold bangle watch in there for only £25. Upstairs on the gallery they had a few 1930's fur stoles, mink and fox for between £20 and £40. Cheap as chips, considering! Plus the stuff was all laid out nicely in cabinets. I'm definitely going to come back when I need to buy some presents for people. You could get something really special at a decent price.

Her first answer was that the books were "prop pieces" but that she would be willing to sell the book for £5. Wow. It was published in 1862. I am happy to have found the book and happy with the service in this shop.

The lay out and the feel of the Flea market are as you would expect, stalls and cabinets dividing up a larger space within a splendid Victorian building. Much like Snooper's Paradise or any other flea market. What I think sets this place apart is the stock they seem to keep and the prices that they sell said stock for. There's a brilliant selection not just of retro tat, but fascinating antiques most of which are on sale for the kind of money that any sensible post graduate with a little flare and taste could afford. The staff seems a little mad too, in a good way, rather than quietly shuffling around as you would expect in a standard antiques shop they talk loudly and whiter away about their social life in a way that makes you feel that you can spend a good hour or so here simply to brows. This works very much to their advantage in my opinion as I now know where to turn for any difficult birthdays or Christmases. All in all, if you're enjoying a day wandering about in Lewes or if you are just in town and have the time, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Henfield Antiques and Homes is a shop dedicated to antiques for the sake of ornament and decor…read more This isn't the kind of place to go looking for a 16th century grandfather clock or a Chippendale side table but for those of us who enjoy dressing our houses out in the Victorian rural style this is just the kind of scullery maid's den that we need to inspire us. It goes without saying that a place like this, in Henfield is going to be fairly pricey, but run by such a helpful lady and with such well thought out displays and stock the prices actually start to seem reasonable. While I was there browsing the selection of stripped wooden dressers, bathed as they always seem to be in a gold or perhaps biscuit coloured light, I came upon a set of wooden chests that could easily make for the centre point of any room. I cautiously turned the price tag to find that they were on sale at comparatively cheap sixty five pounds. That's not where the reasonable and entirely functional finds stop either, they also sell old table cloths and bed linen on a set of shelves at the back of the store for about eight pounds a set. In fact in terms of this place being useful I don't think you really have to even buy an actual physical item from here. The place itself can serve as an inspiration and with such a pleasant lady running the place I get the feeling that advice and guidance are available from Henfield Antiques in vast quantities.

The last few times I've visited however, I've left empty handed and disappointed.

If you're looking for a retro oil painting or 1950s to 1990s paraphanelia, it's probably worth popping in. My personal love affair with the place however, has probably ended.

Antiques on High has the proper smell of old things and has an interesting range of antiques. Rather than focusing on big pieces of furniture, which so many antique shops do, it uses its space wisely to host: Jewellery, books, records, clothes, ornaments, pictures, maps and various collectables. The condition of the goods varies, but they're priced fairly reasonably. I find it's best to go in without the aim of buying something in particular, but just to browse. I can't say anything has ever caught my eye enough to want to buy it, but I've seen plenty of other people who have found the perfect addition to their home or the ideal gift. The best bit is the craft section, where there's a gallery of jewellery, leather, pottery, glass and art in general, all produced locally and all promising to be valuable antiques in the future. There's a great range in here and you can get something for less than a pound or spend hundreds of pounds. Equally, you can pop in for a few minutes or spend hours browsing - it's almost like a mini museum. If you like antique shops, this won't disappoint; if you've never been in one, try approaching it. Don't be put off by the prison-like bars in the windows; the staff are friendly and it's a different world inside.
