About Fencing in Rochester
Rochester in Kent is home to Britain's second oldest cathedral, founded in 604 AD by Bishop Justus, with the current building dating largely from 1080 and featuring one of the finest Romanesque facades in England. The town's Norman castle, built in 1127, has the tallest keep of its kind in the country and withstood a famous siege by King John in 1215. Rochester was also a favourite of Charles Dickens, who bought nearby Gad's Hill Place in 1856 and drew heavily on the town's streets and buildings for novels including Great Expectations.
