The Guild Library
The Guild has an extensive Library, said to be the third largest collection of ringing books in the world. It includes complete runs of Bell News, Church Bells and The Ringing World (except the issues 1916-1921). There are also many books on bells, change-ringing, tower maintenance and legal matters.
Indeed, it is more than just a library: it also holds the Guild’s Archives and other historical material. Many books can be borrowed, although some can only be consulted on site.
The library is housed in the crypt of Guildford Cathedral. Access is on the South side of the Cathedral, near the East end down a flight of stairs.
The Guild Librarian is Ivan Saunders, Assistant Librarian is Malcolm Loveday and Library Committee Member is Sally Schupke.
