Cooling, Kent
Cooling is a village and civil parish on the Hoo Peninsula, overlooking the North Kent Marshes, 6 miles north northwest of Rochester. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 209. increasing to 216 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Civil Parish population 2011 )〕
Cooling was recorded in the Domesday Book〔()〕 when it was held by Bishop Odo of Bayeux (half-brother of William the Conqueror). The most notable surviving feature of the village is Cooling Castle, built on the edge of the marshes during the 12th century to defend the neighbouring port of Cliffe from the threat of French raiders.

It was attacked and badly damaged in a brief siege by Sir Thomas Wyatt in January 1554 during his unsuccessful rebellion against Queen Mary. The castle was subsequently abandoned. A farmhouse and outbuildings were constructed within the ruins. Today the outer gatehouse of the castle can be seen from the side of the road between Cooling and Cliffe.
(詳細はparish church of St James dates from the late 13th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St James, Cooling )〕 Although it has long been classified 'redundant', and no longer used for regular worship, Jools Holland married Christabel (former Countess of Durham) there in August 2007. The church is maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust and is open to visitors daily. In the churchyard are a group of children's gravestones which are widely considered to have inspired Charles Dickens' description of the churchyard in the opening scene of the novel Great Expectations.〔(Great Expectations ), notes by Charlotte Mitchell in Penguin Classics 2003 edition, ISBN 978-0-14-143956-3〕
