Festival of Libraries: A tour of Chetham's Library

[@Steve197201]

England has such beautiful old architecture. I live in New England, the oldest part of The United States, and we have some antique buildings from the 1700's, but nothing like this!

I am planning to build library in my village in Malaysia

[@Pandolcee]

you will become a local hero, knowledge is for everyone!

[@shahjhanhaider26]

What a spectacle,I m much inspired, thinking about Sir Hummpray Cheetham

[@jvp9703]

I visited Chetham as part of my library tour of Manchester one year (including John Rylands, Central Library and Portico). It's beautiful, but more of a museum now.

This is an oddly surprising treat. One moment I was watching a special on ghosts of the Cotswolds. Then suddenly Rosie appears! I did not know that you are also a TV presenter. Cheers from Boston, US.

Devil's hoof print, huh? Will have to remember that one that next time I ruin the finish on someone's table...

[@araucariapasquale1]

absolutely wonderful

[@rossedmonds1828]

Great video. I live in Australia and am now too old to travel to the UK so thanks for posting this - and remembering Chetham. Such a good man.

[@veecartagena2860]

Humphrey chetham is my 11th great-grandfather, I live in the states but hope to visit this library soon. Thank you for this video!

[@BookZealots]

Really? Information says he was never married, and had no recorded children, adopted or natural born.

[@TAXXPAYERMONEY]

she has off the charts swag

[@MCRCityofLit]

Could not agree more. Absolute icon.

0:55 Chicken wire over the books. I dont trust chickens in libraries either. Well done.

[@rossedmonds1828]

I was very interested in the bit about Dr John Dee. Not sure I believe his story about the Devil stamping his hoof on the table but I do own the 1661 edition of Euclid's Elements of Geometry which has a Preface written by Dee.

[@db5094]

[@Booksidontread]

I'm English and building a library & art-gallery in Dolcedo, Liguria + I'm still writing the largest illustrated manuscript since Leonardo = 22 volumes & innumerable artworks.

We must defend our history.
