Chertsey's Gate was once part of the wall that separated Rochester Cathedral from the rest of the City. Made from patterned stone and flint, it dates from the early 15th century. The picturesque timber house on top of the gate was added in the 19th century. In Dickens', The Mystery of Edwin Drood, it is the house of Mr John Jasper. The Gate is named after Edmund Chertsey, and is also known as College Gate.
