TEN YEARS OF TREASURES: Cathedral Lodge Antiques are celebrating milestone moment
TEN YEARS OF TREASURES
Cathedral Lodge Antiques are celebrating milestone moment.
by Danni Murphy
From road closures to a global pandemic, Carlisle’s Cathedral Lodge Antiques has weathered its fair share of challenges, but ten years on, Martyn and Jen are still sharing their passion for antiques and collectables with the city.
There is something special about discovering an item with a story to tell, and for the past decade, Cathedral Lodge Antiques has been helping customers do just that.
Situated in the heart of historic Carlisle, the independent shop celebrated its tenth birthday in November 2026, marking ten years of uncovering unique finds, welcoming collectors and offering a treasure trove of items at sensible prices.
For Martyn, antiques have been a passion for as long as he can remember. An avid collector of all things interesting, with a particular love of old glass and Victorian bottles, he turned his hobby into a business in 2009.
Jen joined him in 2012, bringing her own love of all things that sparkle and a feminine touch to the stock. After successfully running a local antiques fair at The Greenhill Hotel and having spaces in other antiques centres, the pair took the plunge and opened their own shop in November 2016.
The journey has not always been easy, with road closures and the challenges of the Covid pandemic testing the resilience of the independent business. However, their passion for antiques has helped them continue to thrive.
Spread across two floors, the shop offers an eclectic mix of treasures, from Victorian and Georgian furniture to 1970s ceramics and glass collectables. Whether you are an avid collector, searching for an unusual gift or simply enjoy a good browse, there is plenty to discover.
Cathedral Lodge Antiques also buys items, including scrap gold and silver, medals, coins and other interesting finds. Martyn and Jen are happy to assist with probate matters and house clearances, too.
Ten years on, Cathedral Lodge Antiques remains a wonderful reminder that the appeal of discovering something unique never goes out of fashion.
