Extractions: The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark. A church has stood on the site of Southwark Cathedral for over 1,000 years. It has the distinction of being the first 'gothic' church to be built in London. Southwark Cathedral contains several remarkable tombs and monuments. Among them, is that of John Gower (c 1330 - 1408) which shows the poet and friend of Chaucer. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales begin in Southwark. Across the nave is a memorial to William Shakespeare, who spent much of his life here, and astained glass window depicting scenes from his plays. Edmond Shakespeare, John Fletcher and Thomas Massinger are buried here. Lancelot Andrews, who translated the first five books of the Bible into English, is buried by the High Altar. He is a founding father of the Church of England. In the year 2001 new facilities will be opened beside a clean and floodlit church. The Millennium Commission has given grant assistance by committing £3.9 million to be matched by the Cathedral Appeal in order to provide: a Visitor Centre, Refectory, Library, Shop, access for disabled people throughout all the buildings and the church for the first time ever and to recover a view of the north transept window from the River and London Bridge. Such a move forward will enable the Cathedral's ministry to be enlarged for the local community, congregation, schools, diocese and visitors.

Extractions: The purpose of this study is to give some idea of the richness and variety of the national collection of English literary manuscripts. As a representative body of material drawn from the whole course of imaginative literature written in English in Britain, the holdings of the National Library cannot be matched elsewhere. They range in a date from the earliest specimens of Anglo-Saxon to drafts of work by living authors. They include manuscripts by Scottish, Irish and Welsh writers, such as Robert Burns, James Joyce and Dylan Thomas. They cover every variety of prose, verse and drama. And they embrace every possible type of literary document, from medieval illuminated texts and autograph fair copies to annotated typescripts and corrected proofs. As a result, they are of interest equally as much to the editor and textual critic as to the literary historian, the biographer and the student of handwriting. Some of the manuscripts have interesting, even extraordinary, histories. Two of the very finest, both belonging to the later 15th century, were discovered quite independently in 1934. The autobiography of Margery Kempe turned up in a cupboard of household oddments, while the owner was searching for ping-pong balls; and the unique manuscript of Malorys Morte dArthur was discovered in the Fellows Library at Winchester College, where it may have lain unrecognised since the early 17th century. The famous Percy Folio of English ballads was found in about 1750 by Thomas Percy during a visit to a friends house were the maid was using it to light the fire -hence the missing or mutilated leaves at its beginning.
