Medieval times: Rochester Castle
Rochester Castle may not spring to mind, but it's home to a complex and bloody history. The castle’s tower dates back to Norman times, but it’s in the 13th Century where Rochester Castle truly made a name for itself. Following years of rebellion and upheaval, King John signed the Magna Carta, a peace treaty with the Church and barons limiting the power of the monarch and giving rights to the people. This marked a turning point in English history, as it was the last time a King or Queen had absolute power of the kingdom. Learn more.
