OUR STORY

In The Heart of Downtown

A cozy independent used bookseller and giftshop located in the heart of downtown Norwich CT, The Tudor Rose Books opened with the aim of providing a comfortable, neighborhood atmosphere. We can be found at 54 Broadway, next door to the Norwich Arts Center, very near La Stella Pizzeria.

Our owner, Matthias Becker has a long standing passion for reading history and historical fiction primariy focused upon England and Western Europe. Becker opened the shop with his son, Deion, in May of 2026 selling mostly used books across all genres alongside a wide variety of gift offerings ranging from writing implements and art supplies to movies, music, and consignment artwork.
