Faith and fabric

The cathedrals at Rochester and Canterbury, founded in the early 7th century, are the two oldest ecclesiastical buildings with a continuous history in Britain, but while Canterbury receives over two million visitors each year, and has been the subject of a number of published histories, Rochester cathedral is comparatively unknown, and research on its history limited. This book is the first authoritative study of the cathedral, covering history, architecture and worship, as well as briefer studies of the archives and library. Taken together, the articles set Rochester in the wider context of the development of cathedrals in Britain and their significant role in the history of British Christianity.
