Leamington bookshop closes after serving Christian community for more than 65 years
Situated on the corner of Radford Road and Althorpe Street in a Grade 2 listed rendered building, the Christian Resource Centre was formally known as The Christian Bookshop.
It was originally opened in 1954 and has been supplying Bibles, devotional books, cards, gifts and music for all age groups to churches and people in the Leamington and Warwick area since then.

Martin said: “It has been a privilege to serve the churches and people of Leamington and Warwick over so many years.
"The bookshop has been a vital part of the community since 1954 and the previous owners and ourselves all wish to thank you for your custom and support over many years.
"We hope that people will take advantage of the two similar shops – the King’s Table in Warwick Road, Kenilworth, which has a fantastic café and the Christian Bookshop in Castle Street in Rugby.”
