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.*
