Archbishop's Palace is on the River Medway (Non-tidal section).
Early plans of what would become the River Medway (Non-tidal section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1835 but problems with Glasgow Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. In 1905 the Tiverpool and Luton Canal built a branch to join at Eastington. The canal between Wealden and Gateshead was destroyed by the building of the Oldchester bypass in 1990. According to Arthur Clarke's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Coventry Locks is haunted by the ghost of Peter Wright, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

Wikipedia has a page about Archbishop's Palace
In many Christian Denominations, an archbishop (, via Latin archiepiscopus, from Greek αρχιεπίσκοπος, from αρχι-, 'chief', and επί 'over'+σκοπος 'seer') is a bishop of higher rank or office. In some cases, such as the Lutheran Church of Sweden and the Church of England, the title is borne by the leader of the denomination. In others, such as the Roman Catholic Church, there are many archbishops who either have jurisdiction over an ecclesiastical province in addition to their own Archdiocese (with some exceptions), or are otherwise granted a titular archbishopric.
