'''Worcester Cathedral Library''' is an ancient library, part of Worcester Cathedral in England. The library was founded in Anglo-Saxon times. [[King Offa]] of Mercia is known to have given a Bible in c. 780. In the early middle ages the library was originally located in the cloisters. In the fourteenth century, the library moved to its present position in the roof space above the south nave aisle. In 1670 it was taken down to the Chapter House, until the Victorian Restoration of the cathedral in the 1860s when it was temporarily housed in the Edgar Tower and finally put back into the south nave aisle roof space. | '''Worcester Cathedral Library''' is an ancient library, part of Worcester Cathedral in England.
