400 Years of Lambeth Palace Library Treasures
03 May 2010
 |
The exhibition reveals centuries of history and hints at the depth and intellectual value of the items in the Library's care, some of which will be on display for the first time. It draws from the incomparably rich and diverse collections of manuscripts, archives and printed books, built up over the past four centuries. Richard Bancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1604 until his death in 1610, bequeathed his extensive collection of printed books and manuscripts "to the Arch-Bishops of Canterbury successively for ever,” resulting in the formation of Lambeth Palace Library.
'Treasures
of Lambeth Palace Library – 400th Anniversary Exhibition 1610 – 2010' opens on
Monday 17 May until Friday 23 July 2010 at The Great Hall, Lambeth Palace
Library.
Tickets (Adult £8, concessions £7) bookable in advance online at or telephone the 24 booking line on 0871 230 1107.
Visit the Lambeth Palace Library website to find out more.
