The Library
The Priory’s new library was created as part of an extensive programme of refurbishment works carried out in 2019. Since then the entire collection has been re-catalogued and this is now accessible online. Whilst covering the broad spectrum of theological topics, we are also specialising in the study of spirituality and religious life.
In addition, we hope in due course to develop a new library and study centre, here at the Priory, in order to house the Kelham library that was at St Michael’s Priory, Willen, and also provide a centre for the proposed new Institute for Anglican Religious Life.
We hope that our library provision will become a useful resource for students, guests, visitors and others who may be taking courses through the Priory or are simply interested in theology and spirituality.

This volume, edited and with an informative introduction by Scholastica Jacob, our Librarian and Archivist, publishes the full correspondence for the first time. It is now available to order from Amazon.
