For the redoubtable Dr Mary Hobbs, 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.
Unless stated otherwise, all our events are free of charge and anyone interested in the topic is welcome to attend. Registration is required for all events.
