Rochester Cathedral, Kent
The present cathedral was begun by Bishop Gundulf in 1080 on the site of a much earlier building. Only the nave and crypt survive from Gundulf's norman church, the cathedral has grown over the centuries. The original spire was removed in 1823 and only replaced with the present one in 1904. This view is from near the castle grounds, looking east.

Rochester houses [5]
Prior's Gate House, The Precinct, is now three dwellings. Built in the 18th century and extended with rear and entrance wings in the 19th century. The main house is a rebuilding of a range that elsewhere incorporates remains of the former Bishops' Palace but no medieval work is evident here. Constructed of red brick under Welsh slate hipped roofs. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1329929
Once having city status, Rochester is a town at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway, some 27½ miles southeast of London. The site has been settled since Neolithic times, but the first bridge was built by the Romans. The town has always been of great strategic importance through its position near the confluence of the River Thames and the River Medway and the mighty Rochester Castle was built to guard the crossing. The town is home to the second oldest cathedral in England.
