High Street

Rochester

 

Built around 1325  the building burned down in 1768 and the present structure was created over the vault. The chamber is 54ft long, 16ft wide and 11ft high with 4 quadripartite vaults, the shell of the vault being made up of chalk ashlars. There are ribs on the groins with 9 carved ornamental bosses at the intersections.

The Crypt is also said to mark the site of the Church of St Mary, within The Walled City of Rochester, but has never been found. The owners believe the ghosts and spirits still visit our vault regularly.

I also have reference to a "George and Dragon," which may be the same.
