Description
The Rochester War Memorial is a Portland stone memorial cross located in a small garden to the east of the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary of Rochester, which is a Grade I-listed building. The memorial features a tall, blind, wheel-head cross with an octagonal shaft and a moulded foot, all standing on a base. The base consists of an octagonal drum topped with a shallow circular head, and it is elevated on three octagonal steps.
On the front face of the cross, a sword is carved in low relief. The rear of the wheel-head features a carving of a warship in full sail. The inscription on the front face of the base reads "LEST WE FORGET 1914 1918," while the top step bears the dates "1939 1945."
