about us

William North began the North shoe family dynasty from humble beginnings, as a shoemaker in Hacconby, Lincolnshire, five miles north of Bourne.

His marriage to Sarah in 1875 was the catalyst for a story that has spanned over 130 years.

While William was working as a shoemaker in his home village Sarah spotted a property on a visit to Bourne one day that she felt would be ideal for their needs.
