I visited Chetham as part of my library tour of Manchester one year (including John Rylands, Central Library and Portico). It's beautiful, but more of a museum now.
I was very interested in the bit about Dr John Dee. Not sure I believe his story about the Devil stamping his hoof on the table but I do own the 1661 edition of Euclid's Elements of Geometry which has a Preface written by Dee.
I'm English and building a library & art-gallery in Dolcedo, Liguria + I'm still writing the largest illustrated manuscript since Leonardo = 22 volumes & innumerable artworks.
I am planning to build library in my village in Malaysia
Devil's hoof print, huh? Will have to remember that one that next time I ruin the finish on someone's table...
Humphrey chetham is my 11th great-grandfather, I live in the states but hope to visit this library soon. Thank you for this video!

Wow that's quite special
Great video. I live in Australia and am now too old to travel to the UK so thanks for posting this - and remembering Chetham. Such a good man.
Beautiful💙
0:55 Chicken wire over the books. I dont trust chickens in libraries either. Well done.

Was the film adaptation of M. R. James' story "The Tractate Middoth" filmed in this library?
Fantastic
We must defend our history.
No chance... Your history, your country has long belonged to the Pakistanis...
