Join us for a special Collection Encounter exploring our Nonconformist and Christian Brethren collections. Take a closer look at our newly acquired mid-eighteenth-century diary of Samuel Roberts, featuring a fascinating first-hand account of early Methodism in Leeds. Among its handwritten pages you'll also encounter some surprisingly devilish illustrations. Discover the story behind the diary and explore more intriguing material from Library's collections

This event is free and drop in taking place in the Reading Room on level 2
