  • Rochester Castle History & Tour / The Great Siege & Forty Fat Pigs
    For over 800 years Rochester Castle has stood overlooking the River Medway in the historic town of Rochester. The castle is widely regarded as one of the most exceptional examples of Norman architecture in England. Its keep, in particular, stands as the tallest surviving tower of its kind in Europe. The castle played a critical role during the Barons Wars, the siege of Rochester Castle by King John in 1215 is one of the most renowned and well-documented episodes in English history.

    Fantastic video, always since a child been a very local Castle for me. Would love to see a roof reinstated to look after the interior for future generations, been muted many times and can only hope.

      Thank you. We loved Rochester Castle, I certainly hope they can preserve this ancient site for future generations, there is so much history here it would be tragic if it was lost.

    American and I loved the movie “ Ironclad” I never understood why it was always a conflict over human rights. To this very day the citizens can be arrested for speech that the government does not approve of in public.
