	Records of the Anglo-Norman House of Glanville from A.D. 1050 to 1880 - Pages 61 to 80
		Directly Gilbert was made Bishop of Rochester, he became engaged in a contest with the monks of his church, and if they ever entertained a favourable opinion of their new prelate, it was of short continuance.
		Bishop Glanville and Hugh, Bishop of Lichfield, were the persons chiefly employed by the Archbishop to reduce those turbulent monks to obedience to their spiritual governor, and to chastise them for thwarting his laudable designs; thus did Glanville become so obnoxious to this religious fraternity.
		On the death of Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop Glanville was present at the election of the new Archbishop, and King Richard, writing to his mother, Queen Eleanor, desired her to command Gilbert, with the Bishops of London, Winton, and Lincoln, to support the election of Hubert Walter to the episcopal chair.

	Rochester
		Rochester town and castle were besieged by Rufus during the civil war in Kent in his reign.
		Rufus probably suspected that Gundulph, the bishop, was inclined to the side of Odo, for he refused (after the castle was yielded up) to confirm a grant of the manor of Hadenharn, in Bucks, which Archbishop Lanfranc had given to the see of Rochester.
		The points most observable in Rochester ruins are the well, which is built in the centre of the great tower, and its contrivances for supplying every floor with water; the columns and arches of the chapel in the second storey, and the extreme massiveness of the walls, which are twelve feet thick.

	Rochester Castle
		This early fortification was rebuilt for King William Rufus between 1087-89 by Gundulf, Bishop of Rochester, and was one of the earliest castles in this country to be fortified in stone.
		Bishop Odo was then compelled to swear that he would yield Rochester to the King, and Rufus, trustingly, sent him ahead with a small royal force to call upon the garrison to surrender.
		Rochester was yet again proving a hard nut to crack for the invaders and there is also evidence that they started to mine the castle walls, just as King John had fifty years previously.

		For the late 17th and the 18th century it was customary for the Bishop of Rochester to also be appointed Dean of Westminster Abbey.

	Bishop of Rochester Criticises Muslim ‘Victim Mentality’

		The Pakistan-born bishop, baptised a Methodist and educated at a Catholic school, where he considered training for the Catholic priesthood, is now the favoured candidate for Canterbury of the Evangelical wing of the Church of England.
		A more media-wise or worldly bishop might have made more than a passing reference to the death of the Queen Mother, referred to only briefly in the context that it was a "particularly appropriate time" to remember her on the morning of the anniversary of the resurrection.
		The bishop's sermon was short, though he managed to incorporate references to St Athanasius, the fourth century bishop of Alexandria, and the Roman writer Pliny in the course of a five-minute address on the Christian witness to the meaning of Easter.

		The bishop has previously poured scorn on the UK’s politically-correct multicultural agenda, and now states that Muslim demands can never be met because ‘their complaint often boils down to the position that it is always right to intervene when Muslims are victims...
		The Bishop of Rochester is one of the few serious figures in the Church of England who sincerely believes that British values have developed from the Christian faith and its vision of personal and common good.

		Britain's only Asian bishop has today insisted that Muslim women should not wear full face veils in public and called on legislation to be created to grant police powers to remove them.
		And when the Bishop of Rochester says that the Islamic community needed to do more to integrate into British society, perhaps he's really thinking on more extreme terms, like converting to christianity, as his own father did.
		The bishop would have done himself and everybody else a favor by keeping his mouth shut, or even better, send a Christmas message of peace and tolerance,as he is supposed to do, given his religious rank.
