Mary Stallard explores the Gladstone Library, a remarkable residential library in Flintshire founded by Victorian Prime Minister William Gladstone. He established it in 1895 to be a place of religious learning, literature, and politics. Mary visits Gladstone's to meet those staying and working there, including Warden Peter Francis, Chaplain Richard Kauffman, and Director of Collections Lousia Yates; and asks what role a Victorian library plays in contemporary life.
