Replacing wheels

I picked up an older (1990) made in England Raleigh Caprice for my wife, she really likes the bike, and all is in reasonable condition except for the wheels, they have a good amount of rust in two areas. I'd like the swap out the wheels for aluminum, the bike currently has English 26x1 3/8 (590) wheels. Is there something with more common tires that will fit that might come with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed? All I can find are old Schwinn 26x1 3/8 which are also steel and the tires are also uncommon like the tires it already has. Do I just need to buck up and learn to lace wheels so I can do my own?
