The library was founded in 1860 by the then Bishop of Salisbury, Walter Ken Hamilton. Over the years it has developed into an outstanding academic theological collection of over 35,000 books.

The library offers reading rights, borrowing rights and an enquiry service to students and external members throughout this country and abroad. Books can be supplied by post for those who live to far away to visit in person.

The stock covers all denominations, and is particularly strong in the areas of Christian spirituality, ethics, the Bible and liturgy. About 1000 volumes are added each year as a result of donations and the purchase of new books.

Subscriptions are held for 50 current journals, which may be read in the library.

Library users enjoy study space, internet access and word processing facilities. Residential scholars are welcome. Day visitors may book in for lunch (before 10am) and use the college Common Room and drinks machine.

Short term residential visitors may use the library during their stay for a small charge. Library staff welcome enquiries in person, by post, by phone or by email.

Opening hours: 9 - 5 Monday to Friday. 9 - 6.30 some Tuesdays and Fridays in term time.
