St Stephen's moved to Folkestone in 1919, and evacuated to Taplow during World War II. The buildings in Folkestone were eventually acquired by Folkestone School for Girls. After the war St Stephen's College was re-established in Broadstairs. It closed in 1991.[2][3]
It is said that the school campus was heavily haunted, including a well known ghost called Agnes, a former nun who died in mysterious circumstances. She walks about at night, crossing the Bridge between Clewer Hall and the old site.
