The Duke Humfrey Library at Oxford is perhaps one of the oldest
and most revered libraries of them all. With many precious
works in its possession, the library was very strict when it came
to maintenance of the books. One of these non-relaxable rules
was banning the use of fire and flammable substances in the
library. This rule held fast for over five centuries, but surprisingly,
relaxed the rules for a day in 2001 to allow something, more
specifically, a film shoot to happen within its confines. That
"something" is one of the most popular ones in its category -
ever. Not surprisingly, however, after the shoot, the library went
back to it's no-fire rule, and that has stood till date.
