She became Archivist at York Minster Library until retiring in 1983. Miss Longley became an authority on recusant history and published articles on the subject in the Ampleforth Journal and Recusant History. In 1966 she published under the name of Mary Claridge (her mother's maiden name) Margaret Clitherow 1556-1586, a biography of the Catholic saint.
