Treasures of the Cathedral LibraryClimb the spiral staircase to see one of the Cathedral’s best loved treasures, the Library, for yourself and explore some of our fascinating collection.
Our Cathedral Library is a treasure trove with well over 6,000 books, and not all religious. Its collection includes map books, poetry, and history books, books on medicine, travel, architecture, and as you would expect, historic bibles.
This year’s tour includes a peek at our magnificent Armorial of the Garter; this is a 16th manuscript copy of all the heraldic crests of the Knights of the Garter from King Edward III to Queen Elizabeth I. We are also excited to exhibit for the first time a, newly conserved, manuscript copy of a 17th century play by renowned playwright Richard Brome to a spectacular world atlas by Abraham Ortelius, the ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’ or Picture of the World printed in 1584.
Limited availability - book to avoid dissapointment.
