John also seems to have given books as well as a room
to house them.[1] An old view of the church, taken before
the great fire which destroyed the town in 1694, shows
the south porch surmounted with his library, as then
standing; but this room was destroyed in the fire, and it
seems certain the books were burnt. The present library
was founded in 1701, and includes no part of the original
collection.[2]
