St Michael and all Angels Church, set back from Rochester Road in Cuxton, Kent is open to the public during the hours of Daylight. Please visit this church, which is also unique as it does not face East.

Inside this Church on the wall to the left as you walk towards the Alter is a stone plaque with the names of the five people who lived in this particular parish who gave their lives for freedom in the second world war. The plaque reads:

"In Greatful Memory

1940 James L Alderson RM
