It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that Michael Aiken passed away suddenly and unexpectedly whilst out riding on Sunday morning, 24th March.

Mike was appointed Chair of Rochester Cathedral Trust in November 2010. It was a time of significant change and challenge. He worked tirelessly and enthusiastically for the Trust and was a true friend to the Cathedral.  He was personally an enormous support and encouragement, provided a steady hand on the tiller.  His reassuring presence will be greatly missed. Our sincere condolences go to his family and friends.  

Philip Hesketh, Dean 

There will be a memorial service at 11am on Friday 21st June. All are welcome.
