While visiting London this summer my Scottish brother-in-law recommended that we go down to Rochester. Of all the things we did, our day in Rochester was one of the best. Even in the middle of the summer tourist season the castle was nearly deserted, a welcome relief from the London crowds. It's an easy walk from the train station and you can get a Southwest service train from downtown London all the way to Rochester (it takes about 1.5-2 hours). It's a very different experience seeing this type of castle from castles like Buckingham or Arundel which are basically luxurious manor homes. I highly recommend visiting Rochester. The cathedral is also very nice.

Rochester Castle and Cathedral were regular school trips for Year 5 at my kid's primary school. Their class teacher made the students crawl on their knees down the aisle of the Cathedral so they had the full pilgrim experience. Various "interesting" discussions around the dinner table in the evening after the trip as the children mis-remembered the tale (or perhaps tail) of the pigs ...

I'm from Gillingham, one of the Medway towns, along with Chatham and Rochester. The part of Gillingham I live in is Grange. This was once land owned by William the Conquerer's half brother, Bishop Odo. Grange was a "limb" of Hastings , one of the Cinque Ports and as recently as the 1950s Grange observed Hastings licensing laws as opposed to Gillingham. What this meant was that when time was called in Gillingham pubs, drinkers could rush to The Hastings Arms in Grange (still serving ale now) and get an extra half an hour of drinking.

One interesting fact about Rochester is that although it has a cathedral and was a city at the time of the seige - and for many years later - it is no longer a city. In a council reorganisation in 1988 the council decided not to appoint charter trustees needed to retain city status - it is unclear why they didn't but the fact is they didn't and Rochester ceased to be a city and became a mere town - although that didn't come to light until four years later! Rochester's citizens were somewhat less than impressed.

At the age of 10 in the mid '80's I attended a wedding reception at a pub called "The kings head". The upper floor overlooks Rochester Castle. I saw a woman sitting in one of the windows of the buildings in the outer wall of the Castle wearing a long white dress that was spilling out and down the wall of the building. I Didn't think anything of it at the time, being 10 I'd got far more important things to be thinking about. It Wasn't until many years later that i found out there's a ghost of a woman that's been seen in and around the castle wearing a white dress. Apparently the story goes that her husband went to battle and didn't return, in her grief she threw herself off the top of the castle. Make of that what you will, but i know what I saw.

3:53 I am always reminded when a clip for a film is shown when discussing historical events a forgotten cable channel in the '90s did a lot of historical programs. (No, not the History Channel). The presenter would be talking about this or that subject and a clip would be shown, either an old film or a recent one made for the show with a disclaimer reading "Not the actual event, but a re-enactment" and sometimes just "re-enactment" as if the viewer were too stupid to know film cameras were either invented yet as of the event or that someone was recording everything the person/event was about was around at all times. Sometimes I'll think "en-enactment" when I see the same today. I guess I am just easily amused. :)

So, not burning pigs but that did remind me of another use of farm animals in the Azores, Portugal A Spanish fleet of ten warships, commanded by Pedro Valdez, bombarded Angra on 5 July 1581, then began investigating the coast of the island in search of the best landing places. At dawn on 25 July, the first ships loaded with Spanish troops anchored in Salga Bay, about twelve kilometres east of Angra's harbour in the village of Vila de São Sebastião. By midmorning, the Spaniards were sweeping the coast with their artillery, and the fighting was fierce. About midday, when the outcome of the battle was still unsettled, an Augustinian monk named Friar Pedro, who was taking an active part in the struggle, thought of the stratagem of driving cattle against the Spaniards so as to scatter them. Over a thousand head of cattle were quickly gathered and, by means of shouts and musket shots, driven against the enemy positions. The disconcerted Spaniards fell back and were pursued to the shore, where almost all of them lost their lives in the fighting or drowned while trying to reach their boats. This unconventional victory, the Battle of Salga Bay, proved that King António could count on a good deal of local support.

I hear that at the time, crossbows were reviled to the point that the pope threatened to excommunicate any who used them, and that the use of one in killing King Richard (beyond it giving the range to hit the king when he thought he was safe) was a factor in the horrible punishment meted out on his slayer. Also, I thought England was bow country, the legends of Robin Hood emphasizing that the training of yeomen in the longbow was already a major feature of English military at the time.
