St Chad Gospels

Made around 730, the St Chad Gospels is an exquisite blend of cultural influences in the British Isles and beyond. It shows strong correspondences with the Lindisfarne Gospels, which predates it slightly, and the Book of Kells, which it predates by about 70 years. The St Chad Gospels contains the earliest surviving examples of Old Welsh writing.

Wycliffe New Testament

Dating from approximately 1410, this elegant example of the "Later Version" of the Wycliffe was bequeathed to the Cathedral by E.R.O. Bridgeman, Rector of Blymhill, in 1940. Previously overlooked by scholars, it has only recently been included in a listing of Wycliffe Bibles--by Mary Dove in 2007.
