Gladstone's Library
Gladstone's Library, known until 2010 as St Deiniol's Library ((ウェールズ語:Llyfrgell Deiniol Sant)), is a residential library in Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. It is a Grade I listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St Deiniol's Library, Hawarden )〕
The library was founded by the Victorian statesman and politician William Ewart Gladstone (1809–1898).
In 1895, at the age of 85, Gladstone gave £40,000 (equivalent to £ today) and much of his own library. Despite his advanced age, he himself hauled most of his 32,000 books a quarter of a mile to their new home using his wheelbarrow.
It is Britain's largest residential library and is considered an important research library in Wales with over 250,000 items, mostly in the subjects of the arts and humanities.
