But this visit offers another unique treasure - The Chained Library. Here 229 Medieval manuscripts including the 8th century Hereford Gospel and books from later centuries are preserved, each chained for security to the library shelves as they were in the 17th century. While such libraries previously existed throughout Europe only the Hereford Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre holds the archives for the county of Herefordshire. The archives are held at Fir Tree Lane, Rotherwas, Hereford and run by Herefordshire Council. References This page was last edited on 20 April 2022, at 06:30 (UTC).
