Centuries: A 12th Century Sea Side House

The oldest part of the building shown, which has earlier remains of a building underneath it found in the cellar excavation in 2012, was built in 1107. You can see it by looking at the right corner of the building, delineated by the change in stone work style and color running vertically just to the left of the Gothic Windows (which date from the late 1600's). To the left is the addition erected in 1334 by Hamo Bishop of Rochester. This is one of England's oldest inhabited buildings in use to day.
