Rochester Cathedral

Rochester Rochester is an ancient cathedral city in Kent. It stands at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway about 30 miles from London, and has drawn its fortune and history from the Thames the Medway and the bridge. The city is marked by two grand edifices; Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle. A great deal of history is found in these streets; Romans, Anglo-Saxon, Mediæval and modern. In 1215 was an epic siege which reshaped the castle. Rochester, together with neighbouring Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and a number of outlying villages have grown together to make a single conurbation standing across the Medway. (Read more)
