Guess what! Another 'Intra' place that isn't. It's just in St Margaret's, Rochester parish. 𝘐𝘯𝘡𝘳𝘒 is the suffix applied to areas of non-Rochester parishes (Chatham, Strood, Frindsbury) which found themselves *inside* (π˜ͺ𝘯𝘡𝘳𝘒 in Latin) the boundaries of the city.

I see that Strood Cemetery Lodge is on the list. My children's childminder lived there, as her husband was in charge of the Cemetery, and of unlocking and locking Rochester Castle Gardens every morning and evening. My girls called it 'Uncle John's castle.' I was aware it was a tied house. I am no longer in touch, so I don't know if they had to move out once he retired.
