Description
The great keep of Rochester Castle has resisted destruction for over 800 years. In 1215 the keep held out for two months against King John, who finally breached it by mining under the southeast corner. This handbook gives a brief history of the castle and those connected with it, and a description of the castle as it is now and as it was built. Plans and many illustrations will help to make your visit to the castle more interesting.Tags
