The quire, or pulpitum, screen dating from around the middle of the 14th century separates the quire from the nave and depicts previous bishops.

The Quire and organ from the east looking towards the nave.

The modern painting of the choir walls is modelled on paintwork from the late medieval period and Sir Gilbert Scott found part of the painting behind the wooden stalls during his renovation in the 1870s. The painting is therefore part original and part authentic.

Tomb of John de Sheppey Bishop of Rochester 1352-1360. This effigy survived the Reformation because the people here at the time blocked the archway to hide this tomb and so its descruction was avoided.

The Crypt. Access to the crypt is down a flight of stairs from the south quire aisle. The oldest part of the crypt is the two westernmost bays under the eastern end of the quire and is part of the original 1080s Lanfranc construction. The rest of the crypt is from a century later.
