Bereik en inhoud
Historically known as the Foundation or Fellows' Library, it was housed in the Chapel roof until 1733 (gathering mould).
It was then moved to A2 First Court.
After the completion of the Master's Lodge in 1835, the Library was rehoused (1847-50) in what had been the Master's dining and drawing rooms, with access from the Chapel Staircase.
In 1927 an annexe was added to form a reading room.
In 1964 part of the ceiling collapsed and it was rebuilt in 1966. The Parlour was formed out of the inner room.
