Catalogue of the Francis Trigge Chained Library: St Wulfram's Church, Grantham
Founded in 1598 for the use of the inhabitants, this was the first library to be endowed outside an institution; the 300 or so books were acquired in Cambridge, with important implications for the study of the book trade. About a quarter of the works date from pre-1550.
