I happened to go into this shop to ask directions to Cissbury Ring. There are waxed jackets and the like in the window, but it was a pleasant surprise to discover that the owner is a skilled craftswoman, with a small workshop at the back of the premises. The Saddlery's website tells me that Katie Jones served a full 7-year apprenticeship before setting up her own business here in Findon. But she makes it clear that she's not too proud to turn her hand to non- equestrian work - even the odd handbag repair: http://www.southdownsaddlery.com/aboutus.asp
