Paisley Abbey is a Church of Scotland parish kirk located on the east bank of the White Cart Water in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The site has been used for religious purposes since the 7th century, and a Cluniac monastery was on the site from the 11th century. Marjorie Bruce, the mother of King Robert II, is thought to have been buried in the abbey.Photograph: Colin

Duke Humfrey's Library is the oldest reading room in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. It is named after Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, a connoisseur of literature, who donated his collection of 281 books to the university at his death in 1447. Books were hand-written at the time and his legacy was considered an extraordinarily generous donation, since the university previously had only 20 books. Only three books from the original donation remain, the rest having been removed in 1550 and probably burnt during the Reformation. The library was restored and restocked by Thomas Bodley from 1598 onwards. The books in the oldest part of the library are accommodated in oak bookcases that are at right angles to the walls on either side, with integrated reading desks. The ceiling consists of panels painted with the coat of arms of the University of Oxford.
