The Wandering Manuscripts

Ref: C3125871

Between 1536 and 1540 some 800 religious houses were suppressed in England and their treasures lost. Many books were destroyed, but some were rescued. Today the Hereford Cathedral Chained Library includes almost 90 such books, including ones from Cirencester Abbey, St Peter's Abbey, Gloucester and St Guthlac's Priory, Hereford. We will trace their journeys and assess their significance. Led by Rosemary Firman. To book please phone 01432 880545 or email herefordbranch@wea.org.uk
