which I enjoyed more than Christchurch, the Marsh Library is connected. Marsh was an Archbishop who put together an impressive collection of books made in Moroccan Leather, goatskin with covers beautifully designed in a way that you will never see again. What I liked about his Library was i was not crowded and you could get a good long look at the books under glass.
An interesting aside, I was shown where bullet holes were shot into the library by English soldiers. You can see the holes in the book. Since it is a small space wise library, I was ready to leave and head back to rest up in the room. I hoped the fall did not take anything out of me. So far so good.
