The Textus Roffensis , an Ancient book over 900 years old has been on display in Rochester Cathedral Crypt this week and Wednesday 28th July is the last day you will have a chance to study it for a while ! I saw it within an hour of it going on show and was amazed by it's condition, and the fact over 100 people had visited it during the first hour.
The book is the earliest example of written english in existence and is actually two books bound together. The book is that old that the Magna Carta was modelled upon it !
If you have an hour spare go and have a look, or study Rochester Cathedral's website by following the link..
