Members of St Paul’s Church in Cliftonville have had to get the scrubbing brushes out after vandals sprayed bright pink tags onto the stone wall.
The damage was caused overnight between October 5-6.
Church volunteer Terry McElligott said: “Anti-social graffiti tags in cerise pink have been sprayed onto the stone wall in Edgar Road, causing damage to the listed structure.
“We got wire brushes on it but traces are still left and it hasn’t done the stone much good. If anyone saw it happen or knows who the culprit could be please contact Kent Police.”
Kent Police said officers are investigating.
A spokesman said:”Kent Police is investigating a report of criminal damage to a church in Northdown Road.
“Graffiti has been painted on an outer wall of the church. It is reported that similar graffiti has also been painted on a nearby phone box.”
