Places available

Rochester Cathedral

  • Wed 17 April 2024
    1.15 for 1.30pm Meet inside West Door
  • Lecture: John McNeill

The current cathedral reflects an expansion initiated by Bishop Gundulf in the decades following the Norman Conquest. Material from this phase certainly survives, as does the repaired nave and west front – both reconstructed following a fire in 1137 – and the early Gothic presbytery and choir. We shall look at all this work, along with the important fragmentary remains of the cloister east range and Rochester’s important collection of later medieval tomb monuments.
