This collection of papers-first delivered at the British Archaeological Association's (BAA) annual conference in 2002-celebrates medieval Rochester, including both the cathedral and castle, an outstanding pair of surviving monuments to the power of contemporary church and state. The contributions in this collection demonstrate the great interest of these understudied buildings, their furnishings, and historical and archaeological contexts, from the rich documentary evidence for the Anglo-Saxon town to the substantial surviving fabric of the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. Shrines, monuments, woodwork, and seals are all fully covered, as well as the medieval monks themselves.Brown, Sarah is the author of 'Medieval Art, Architecture And Archaeology at Rochester ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781904350774 and ISBN 1904350771.
