The Baptist Burial Ground
by John Cook
One small piece of land still remains in the centre of Folkestone, untouched since the 1850s. The burial ground can be found in Bradstone Road, known in earlier times as the Rope Walk.
It stands in a third of an acre of land close to what was Staces's Water Mill. It is believed that the land was given by the Stace family around 1740 for the burial of members of the Baptist Church, the first burial being of Mary Stace in 1747, a daughter of John Bennet Stace.
The last burial was of William Pledge in 1856 following an Act of Parliament, which forbade the use of private cemeteries.
After this cemetery closed, burials took place at the Cheriton Road cemetery where a nonconformist plot was provided
