The bridge chapel at Rochester was built by Sir John de Cobham, who lived at nearby Cooling Castle. Described as newly constructed in January 1393, the chapel was located on the eastern approach to the medieval stone bridge, formerly called Chapel Lane or Bridge Lane, but today known as the Esplanade.
