Not Just Heritage
It's Our Promise
Our promise is a family driven level of care and attention to every detail unlike anywhere else. We curate with a passion, the very best home luxuries and linens, without compromise.
300 Years of Expertise
Drawing upon over 250 years of manufacturing expertise, we pride ourselves on selecting beautifully designed goods that deliver on quality and longevity. Your satisfaction truly matters to us.
Since 1733
We have exclusively produced many of our own home linens to traditional and exacting specifications. This inherited knowledge is ours to share with you. The famous Woods ‘Pure Linen’ Dishcloth is just one example of our production values. Passed down through the generations and sold the world over and supplied to Royal Households and Landed Gentry.
Inherited inspiration.
“As a little girl I remember visiting my Father in his magical shop, I was dazzled by the beauty of home design and especially the wonderfully-woven fabrics.
To this day I live my passion for period interior design, and am so driven to always do better. I was of course proud when we were nationally recognised by The Telegraph in their ‘Top 20 Interior Designers in Britain’ awards but I won’t rest there!”
Sarah Woods
Strive for Perfection
“I have one mantra: ’It’s never good enough’. Unfortunately, mediocrity has become so commonplace and that is just not acceptable to us as we strive for perfection.”
William Woods
In Harrogate Since 1895
A shop full of curiosities, like the letters from Royal patrons; the oldest working exterior clock in Harrogate and beautiful oak-panelled gated-lift, still in day-to-day use.
Our showrooms are set over three floors in our Grade II listed building; bursting with period character and unique charm.
