Rochester buildings [7]
Mackean House (often seen as Maclean House), The Precinct, originally a Canon's house, is now part of King's School. Built in the Tudor domestic style in 1841 and enlarged in 1911. Constructed of red brick on a stone plinth and basement with stucco dressings, all under a tile roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1086424 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.

King's School, Rochester
King's is the oldest choir school and the second oldest school in the world. King's is located in the centre of the historic city of Rochester, nestling amidst the tranquil setting of the Cathedral precincts, and in the shadow of a castle which boasts one of the finest Norman keeps in the country. The name of 'King's School' dates from the Reformation, when, in 1541, King Henry VIII reconstituted the Cathedral Foundation after the dissolution of the Monastery; although there has been a school on the Cathedral Foundation since 604 AD.
