Storehouse of Knowledge

Fr. Thomas took me on a tour of one of their many libraries
 
This, is a 216 page letter written in 1841, from Mr. Pusey to Dr. Jelf, in response to a complaint. "Disguntled in Tunbridge Wells," Victorian style 

There is much cataloging to do

The sort of book you'd expect in a monastery. (dated 1606)

You could get lost in here. Literally.

Every good library has it's celebrity collection
This is a personally autographed gift to a brother, from author TS Eliot in 1941 


There's something for every taste here

Fr. Thomas sorts out more books, whilst I ponder on the vast storehouse of knowledge that exists here. (This is only one of about 6 libraries on the grounds!)
