Description
The Old Sheldon Church Ruins is a historic site located in northern Beaufort County, South Carolina, approximately 17 miles (30 km) north of Beaufort in the Sheldon area. Known also as the Sheldon Church or Old Sheldon Church, the pre-existing building was originally known as Prince William's Parish Church. The church was built in the Greek Revival style between 1745 and 1753. Prince William's was burned by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War. In 1826 it was rebuilt.

All the oddly-matched elements in this bewitching landscape come together so naturally, Dawna, that you might have planned it that way. One specific question: was the original Parish Church constructed of brick--despite the Greek Revival style--or did its 19th-century restorers make that choice? The 'shot of moss and leaf across its bow' provides a fitting commentary to this revered site. May it--and you--have a good year ahead.
