Rochester Castle

The Medieval History of Rochester Castle in Three Hats

This year I had six bookings at Rochester Castle to tell stories around various characters and incidents in history of Rochester Castle.

Out of this I have developed this talk.

 

In one hat I tell the story of a boy caught up in the 13th century siege of the castle by King John

In another hat I tell the story of Rochester during the Black Death.

In the last hat I describe the castle’s part in the Peasants Revolt.
