EDITORS COMMENTS
This commemorative page from the Illustrated London News marks the Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland's annual meeting held in Rochester, July 1863. The image captures the picturesque surroundings of the ancient town, including the yard of Leybourne Castle and its adjacent church, the quaint quintain at Offham, the ruins of Malling Abbey with its fountain, and St. Leonards Tower. The group of distinguished scholars and gentlemen, led by Professor Willis, are seen exploring the crypt of Rochester Cathedral, delving into the rich history of the region. The intricate groin vaulting and ancient architecture of the cathedral serve as a backdrop to their intellectual pursuits. The Victorian crowd gathered around the Institute's members reflects the excitement and curiosity of the era, as the study of archaeology and history continued to captivate the minds of the British public. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the discovery of the past was a source of national pride and fascination.
