Tales from the Cathedral Library: Lancelot Andrewes: famous for sermons and liturgy, but over-rated?
Each session offers a chance to explore fascinating manuscripts, rare books, and other treasures, and to discuss their significance for the Church - both then and today.
Step behind the scenes of one of Chichester’s most remarkable spaces and learn about the Cathedral Library’s treasures in a welcoming, intimate setting - where every item has a story to tell - led by Cathedral Sub-Librarian Dr Andrew Foster and Canon Chancellor, the Rev'd Dr Earl Collins.
Held in the Dresden Room, George Bell House, sessions last approximately one and a half hours and conclude with coffee, conversation, and a moment to reflect on the morning’s discoveries.
