Walter Tull
GRACE HILL
CHAPEL
The Tull family worshipped at Grace
Hill chapel. Before the chapel was completed in 1866,
the Folkestone Society used premises in the High Street
area and at Sandgate Road, in Folkestone.
A hundred years after completion the
chapel was in need of repair. In 1974 a new church was
built at Sandgate Road, and it was opened in January
1976. Various congregations - Grace Hill, Sandgate, and
Canterbury Road - then all used the new church.
Grace Hill chapel was demolished, and
became Grace Court, Methodist Homes for the Aged.*
