Rochester is England's second oldest cathedral -
over 1,400 years of worship, history and architecture.
It has glorious Norman architecture in the Nave and
Crypt, and one of the finest Romanesque facades in the country. Among its many
treasures is the magnificent 14th century Chapter Library
door.
The first real fresco in an
English cathedral for over 800 years was dedicated in 2004 and is on view in
the north nave transept. The size and richness of this narrative painting by
Sergei Fyodorov has drawn many visitors.
The Tea Room is open Monday to Saturday 8.30am to
4.30pm, and the Cathedral Shop is open Monday to Saturday 10.00am -
4.30pm
Wheelchair access to the Nave and
Quire is good but not yet to the Crypt. |
