Life and Learning is the adult education arm of Hereford Cathedral, working to broaden understanding and debate in theology, social issues and the arts.


This series of short films takes a close look at some of the tiny faces hiding inside the medieval manuscript books in the cathedral's renowned Chained Library. Cathedral Librarian Rosemary Firman asks: who are they? Why are they there and what are they trying to tell us? Why are such curious and sometimes scary creatures lurking in the margins?


The third in a series of four short talks looking at images of human and other beings in the cathedral’s medieval manuscripts. The margins are places where the normal rules don’t seem to apply and all manner of weird and wonderful creatures abound. From a black rabbit to a gurning face, what might be expected to be a staid and rather dull textbook of Church law is full of surprises.
