Join Head of Archive and Library, Fran Baker, on a special tour of this year’s exhibition - House of Stories: Tales from the Chatsworth Library.

The Devonshire family have been passionate readers, collectors, and champions of literature since the 17th century. Through seventeen generations, they have assembled one of Britain’s most important private book collections, preserving rare first editions, exquisitely decorated books, and personally annotated volumes, with works of fiction, poetry, and drama playing a key part in this remarkable collection.

This is the first time that Chatsworth is showcasing some of the most treasured literary works from the Chatsworth Library shelves. 
 
Fran will offer a guided tour of the exhibition, taking a deep dive into some of the rare books, manuscripts and letters on display in the collection.
