Library treasures
Take a tour through the rare collection of written texts in our Library, including one of the most controversial Bibles in the world.
This selection of the most engaging items in our Library includes medieval manuscripts, book form the earliest days of printing and volumes which are impressive for their size and craftsmanship. Some of our texts – like the William II Charter – also shine a light on how our predecessors navigated the complexities of running a Cathedral in bygone times.
