Wimborne Minster Chained Library Illustrated Talk

If you are unable to negotiate the 26 steps of the spiral staircase that lead to the Chained Library but would like to know more about it then please join us for an illustrated talk on the historic library, which is the second largest chained library in England, with more than 400 volumes. Established in 1685, the library has a wide variety of both theological and secular books covering subjects such as politics, philosophy, medicine and architecture. This is an experience not just for all lovers of books and history but also for the curious.
