Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Rochester / A Description of its Fabric and a Brief History of the Episcopal See

A concise architectural and historical guide to the cathedral at Rochester that traces its origins in the early medieval period and follows successive rebuilding and restorations. It describes exterior elements such as tower, west front, transepts, cloisters, bishop’s palace and gates, and the interior arrangement including nave, choir, chapels, chapter-house and crypt. The text surveys fittings and ornament—stalls, screen, pulpit, font, organ, stained glass and monuments—and outlines archaeological discoveries, documentary evidence, and the sequence of bishops and diocesan development. Illustrated with drawings and photographs, the work combines measured description and historical summary for visitors and students of ecclesiastical architecture.
