Edith Cavell was buried at Norwich cathedral on 19 May 1919. A plaque by her grave reads, "Edith Cavell was born at Cavell House, Swardestone, Norwich, on December 4 1865. As Matron of a hospital in Brussels she tended with great devotion the wounded of enemy and allied forces alike. For helping many of our men to escape she was sentenced to death and was shot on October 12 1915. "Standing as I do in view of God and eternity I realised that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone."."

Just outside the cathedral walls is also a memorial to her, where "Miss Edith Cavell" roses were planted on 6 March 2003.

The words read:

Wartime Raid on Dover Harbour. At 7.45 am on 29th July, the harbour was attacked by 30 Stukas protected by 50 |Messerschmitts. Incendiaries started a fire on HMS Sandhurst, a Royal Navy supply ship moored next to HMS Codrington, a destroyer sunk in a previous attack. Ruptured oil pipes caused a further blaze, which was about the engulf the entire ship. Dover firement rushed to fight the fire. A second air raid warning sounded and they were ordered to abandon the ship.  The first spread, turning the deck plates white-hot and threatening the torpedoes, ammunition and fuel on board. Despite the attack, and with a massive explosion likely at any moment, the firemen returned to tackle the blaze and managed to gain control after a twelve hour struggle. HMS Sandhurst was badly damaged but still seaworthy, and, a few days later, sailed to the Thames for repairs. Three of the firemen were awarded the George Medal and six received Commendations. The medals were among the first to be awarded and were presented by King George VI at Buckingham Palace on 27th May 1941.

The citation comments, "In a large-scale attack by enemy bombers on Dover Harbour, all members of the Dover Fire Brigade and Auxiliary Fire Service did excellent work in difficult and dangerous circumstances"
