    Rochester Cathedral was founded in 604 AD and is the second oldest cathedral in England, after Canterbury Cathedral. The building you see today broadly dates from the 11th century. Inside, you can see a fine collection of medieval wall paintings and the Textus Roffensis, the only existing written copy of the first code of English law and one of the most important books in England.

      When visiting this impressive church, every visitor, regardless of their denomination, should feel the breath of history. The cathedral—the episcopal church of the Anglican diocese of the same name—in the city of Rochester takes us far back to the beginnings of the Christianization of England, to the early seventh century.
