When I visited the Library, I used my new Lens, to test it in low light.
This was the late Lord Montagu's sitting room where he would often relax with his family at the end of the day. In later years, he also used the room as his office. He had a large record collection which included artists as varied as Ted Heath, Jimi Hendrix and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. In the classical section, his favourite composers were Beethoven, Britten, Elgar, Mahler, Strauss and Wagner. It was the operas of the latter which he particularly enjoyed playing at full volume.
The book collection is mainly that of Henry James, Baron Montagu of Boughton, whose books spanned the 18th and 19th century, and the natural history collection of John Montagu, spanning the late Victorian era to the early 20th century. The library and its bookshelves were moved from the room below to make way for the Picture Gallery when Palace House was first opened to the public in 1952.
Beaulieu Palace House is a 13th-century house in Beaulieu, Hampshire, United Kingdom. Originally part of Beaulieu Abbey, the estate was bought in 1538 by Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is still owned and occupied by the earl's descendants, the Barons Montagu of Beaulieu.
Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public. It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium. The Palace House is open to the public as part of the visitor attraction known as "Beaulieu", which includes:
* Beaulieu Abbey
* National Motor Museum
* Beaulieu Palace House
* Secret Army Exhibition – an exhibit about the Special Operations Executive training at Beaulieu during World War II
* Gardens
* A monorail
* Rides

A rather special wrought iron sign is on the side of the former Victoria Jubilee Institute and public baths in Tunstall, building of which was started in 1889. The uses of the building included the Free Library and this was marked by the sign provided by local worthy and brick & tile manufacturer John Nash Peake in 1901. Sadly the building is now entirely derelict and up for sale at a knock-down price. Renovation of the Grade II listed structure would cost millions.

The first shot I took I accidentally left the flash on, cue much annoyed head turning and me trying to look like I was studying intently.
Actually, it's Trinity College Library in Dublin, where the Book of Kells is housed. A stunning building full of some very beautiful books.
A very dimly lit room, and no tripods or flash allowed. So maximum aperture, high iso, low shutter speed and a steady hand for this one!
