Monumental Inscriptions of Strood Cemetery, Cuxton Rd, Rochester ME2 2NJ
                                                                                  
 - recorded by D. E. Williams 2009

Introduction

Strood is a part of the City of Rochester, and is situated on the River Medway in North Kent. Strood Cemetery lies on high ground about ¾ of a mile south of the town centre.
   The original 6 acres of the cemetery was opened in early 1883, replacing the burial ground around the old parish church of St. Nicholas in the centre of Strood. An additional 3 acres was added in 1929/30.
   This record contains all the monumental inscriptions for graves established between 1883-1929. Additionally, the transcriber found 5 monuments from the old church in the cemetery.
   The sections are the official cemetery sections. A map of the cemetery, showing the sections
   The burial registers are held at the Medway Archives and Local Studies Centre, at the time of writing, situated in Strood; the centre also has local newspapers on microfilm, which contain obituaries and inquests relating to many of the people buried in the cemetery.
   Strood Cemetery is very well positioned, with panoramic views east across the River Medway to Rochester and beyond. It is very well maintained, although some individual monuments in the 1883 section were overgrown with ivy and other climbers, this has now been removed.
   The western edge of the 1883 cemetery is marked by a line of Scots’ Pines. Presumably a brick boundary wall originally ran parallel to the trees. Beyond the pines lies the 1930 extension. The boundary between Sections E and D is not clear, so the exact location of some monuments may not be strictly accurate; similarly, there is no obvious boundary between Sections H, J and K, so these are treated as one section. Sections L and N, to the north of the Non-Conformist Chapel, are non-conformist, including Roman Catholic. The largest monuments are in Section H, J and K, although they do not compare in scale with some of those in St. Nicholas Cemetery, in the neighbouring City of Rochester. Unfortunately a small number of headstones remain face down and unrecorded, due, in part, to an injury to the transcriber.

The M.I.s are listed in two parts, the first covers the years 1883 (the year the cemetery opened) to 1913 and the second 1914 to 1929.
