The Triforium Gallery and LibraryThe Triforium Gallery traces the rich history of Winchester Cathedral through displays of sculpture, woodwork and metalwork dating back over 1100 years. The Library houses a magnificent collection of medieval manuscripts and books. The chief treasure of the Library collection is the 12th century Winchester Bible, a richly illuminated book, which stands as one of the finest medieval manuscripts still in existence. The Bible took over 20 years for a team of artists to illustrate, though it seems that a single scribe was responsible for copying the text. The Gallery and Library is a part of Winchester Cathedral, but they have seperate admission requirements. Phone 01962 857202 for opening details.
