About this event
The seventeenth century began with Queen Elizabeth I and ended with Prince William of Orange on the English throne. Between them the Stuart Kings came from Scotland to take the throne, and by the middle of the century the country was engulfed in a terrible civil war.
Join us on this exciting tour to discover stories of the Civil War in the Library and Archives and to take a closer look at evidence of the impact on the Cathedral building and decoration.
