About this Event

A seminar held in partnership with the IHR, given at Lambeth and open to all.

For the redoubtable Dr Mary Hobbs (1923–1998), the return of Bishop Henry King’s Library marked the rebirth of Chichester Cathedral Library post 1671; yet close analysis of The Old Catalogue before 1735 reveals other stories of benefactors and books in what was quite a renaissance for cathedral, city, and the surrounding region at the end of the seventeenth century.

This is an opportunity to hear a paper delivered earlier in the year for the History of Libraries seminar when attendance was badly affected by train strikes.

All are welcome but those wishing to attend should book a ticket or email [email protected] no later than 6 December.


Please note tickets must be booked separately for security reasons.
