Activity

A catalogue of St. Paul?s Cathedral Library was drawn up in 1458, around the time of the library?s foundation by Walter Sherington, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the reign of Henry VI (1421-1471). The Catalogue lists over 160 volumes, but the library was subject to destruction during the Reformation, a fire in 1561, vandalism during the Civil War and finally the Great Fire of London in 1666. Very few books survived on site, but some have since been recognised in other libraries as being listed in the original catalogue: most of these are now, via the bequest of Thomas Reid, in the University of Aberdeen Special Libraries and Archives.
