| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rochester |
 | | This energetic prelate replaced the secular chaplains by Benedictine monks, translated the relics of St. Paulinus to a silver shrine which became a place of pilgrimage, obtained several royal grants of land, and proved an untiring benefactor to his cathedral city. | | | From the foundation of the see the arthbishops of Canterbury had enjoyed the privilege of nominating the bishop, but Archbishop Theobald transferred the right to the Benedictine monks of the cathedral who exercised it for the first time in 1148. | | | The cathedral, founded by King Ethelbert and dedicated to St. Andrew from whose monastery at Rome St. Augustine and St. Justus had come, was served by a college of secular priests and endowed with land near the city called Priestfield. |

| | Hereford Cathedral History Part 1: Celtic & Saxon Times |
| | By 1012, Bishop Athelstan (vir magnae sanctitatis, according to Florence of Worcester) found the church in a great state of decay and practically rebuilt it. | | | The Bishop, although blind for thirteen years before his death in 1056, directed the affairs of his See with great fervour and it must have been a heavy blow to him when his Cathedral was burned down in 1055 by a Welsh horde who overran the city. | | | However, it was the actions of these monarchs' Mercians Overlords which were to finally put Hereford's Cathedral securely on the map. |

| | The present cathedral was built on the orders of Bishop Gundulf in 1080 but there had been a church there since the 7th century when Ethelbert, King of Kent had a small cathedral built for Justus the very first Bishop of Rochester. | | | Rochester was originally built by the Normans soon after the Conquest and was rebuilt entirely of stone in about 1088. | | | Rochester has been an important settlement since the Romans landed there in about 43AD and like so many other thriving towns and cities, it built up around a river, in this case the River Medway. |

| | Rochester Cathedral is one of England's smaller cathedrals, yet it demonstrates all styles of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. | | | Rochester has long been technically a city but was accidentally stripped of its centuries-old city status in 1998 due to a local government reorganisation. | | | Rochester and its neighbouring communities were hit hard by this and have experienced a painful adjustment to a post-industrial economy, with much social deprivation and unemployment resulting. |

| | Stabling his horses among the pews in the adjacent Rochester Cathedral as a slight to Langton, King John summoned every siege engine at his disposal and kept up a furious assault on the castle, a barrage which was almost without cease for the next seven weeks. | | | In fact, the name 'Rochester' was derived by the Romans from 'Hroffe's Castre', which in turn was derived from the fortified house of a warrior chieftain, Hroffe, who once lived in the area. | | | This work was supervised by Gundulf, Bishop of Rochester at the request of King William Rufus, who by this time had succeeded his father, William the Conqueror, as King of England. |
