  • MC Rochester Cathedral Speech 17.4
    Rochester Cathedral Business Guild Dinner 17/4/13 Rochester’s pivotal role in the XII Century, and why it matters today Sir Robert Worcester1 The Dean of Rochester, Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you will forgive me for diverting from the title of my talk at its very start, but given where we are, in the very crypt of this cathedral, in light of the news the Dean gave us last October about the HLF grant for the restoration and development of this wonderful crypt where we are meeting this evening, I thought some relevant earlier history would be appropriate. My talk starts in the VIIth Century around the time this Cathedral was built. As Chancellor of the University of Kent, with a campus in Medway, I have the honour to hold graduation ceremonies in the nave of this church – and we robe in this crypt, so I know it well. When the then Dean, Adrian Newman, told me about the Textus Roffensus, the XIIth Century book (written in the early 1120s), the ‘First Code of English Law’, the laws of King Aethelbert in around 600 AD, I promised him that I would do my best to make it famous. As I stand in my robes at the top of the nave above us to welcome the University of Kent graduands, as I will again in July, I say to those students whose hard work and diligence have earned them their degrees, and their parents and friends, in my welcome: “It is a great pleasure to welcome you to this historic Cathedral, Britain’s second oldest, consecrated in 603 AD, some 14 Centuries ago.
