or earlier. This was rebuilt by Bishop Gilbert de Glanville in 1184 and
altered and added to at various later dates. The old building was demolished
by Bishop John Thomas and entirely rebuilt in 1774-6. It was occupied by
the Bishop of Rochester until 1845 when it was sold by the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners. 2 storeys and attic. 9 windows. 8 modern dormers. Red

Modern wings added on each side by the College. The colonnaded verandah
on the south front was added by Coles Child after 1845 when the building
