Triforium tours and library display
From 5th June, tour our historic Triforium to see the 500-year-old first edition copy of William Tyndale's New Testament in our centuries old Library nestled above the Cathedral floor.
Travel through time and see how this once forbidden text transformed England by giving all people ‘from princes to ploughboys’ the chance to experience first-hand the word of God.
The exhibition reveals how this forbidden text became a valuable item within 15 years, and how William Tyndale risked everything to make the English Bible available to all people across the country.
Including the Tyndale, there will be six bibles in total on display in the library:
- Tyndale New Testament (Worms: Schoeffer, 1526)
- Tyndale Pentateuch (first five books of the Old Testament) (1534)
- The Newe Testament, in Englyshe and in Latyn (London : 1538)
- Matthew Bible 1537 (‘Bugge Bible’) 38.A.1. [1st ed]
- Great/Cranmer’s Bible Nov. 1541 38.A.6 [3rd ed]
- KJV (Cambridge: John Field, 1660)
Please note, Triforium tours are an additional ticket to our sightseeing ticket.
