Originally housed in #Cloisters at #LambethPalace the #LambethPalaceLibrary was moved into the 17th-century #LambethPalaceGreatHall when the palace was remodelled by #EdwardBlore in early 19th century. In 2020 the Library moved into its 1st purpose built home, a new building erected at the north end of the #LambethPalaceGarden
