March 01, 2006: Mould Threatens Rare Books in Durham Cathedral
"A UNIQUE collection of antique books and manuscripts found gathering mould in Durham Cathedral will be saved from ruin."
"The irreplaceable books and manuscripts, some dating back to medieval times, were becoming damp because of holes in the rectory roof where rain was coming in."
"Now, English Heritage has donated £65,000 for much-needed repairs to the roof and guttering of the cathedral's rectory and Librarian's Loft, where thousands of extremely rare and valuable books are kept."
