Tabley Book Restoration - Resumed November 2025

Tabley Book Restoration - Resumed November 2025

7 Dec 2025

Our Heritage Volunteers are working as part of a team working on the rewarding book restoration project at Tabley Hall, Knutsford. The historic books are hugely important as part of our story of the area.

Sessions every other Thursday from November 2025 to March 2026 when the house is closed and will run between 10.30am until 12.30pm, twice a month. 

They small group of volunteers meet to process the thousands of books held in this library, painstakingly working through the collection performing various activities such as logging shelf positions, recording bibliographic details and copy-specific information such as inscriptions and annotations, cleaning, conducting any basic repairs required and identifying those needing specialist attention.

Location is Tabley Hall, Knutsford. http://www.tableyhouse.co.uk/

If you would be interested in joining the group in this important and fascinating project, details can be obtained from Chris or Hillary by emailing jenhilfor@gmail.com
