What a bizzare building Johnnie Walker.
I had gone all along the North Coast looking at every Catholic Church.
Well done, it was straining my brain cell

To sum up the clues.
A folly
Can be easily seen on GSV
Seaside town
Eastern end of north kent coast
The building has five words in it's name
The building has been renovated recently
Very close to a Catholic Church
Overlooks a graveyard and a large CofE church with a steeple

As I understand it an idiom is a saying that shouldn't be taken literally. The name of this building is a saying of five words.

It's a good job you see this folly as you enter this building and not as you stagger out .......

The building is not what you would expect to see a folly on top of. It's also out of keeping with the surrounding area.
