Sheldon Church Ruins

The Ruins of Old Sheldon Prince William's Parish Church still stand along the road to Beaufort, South Carolina. The church was built in 1745, burned in 1779 by the British, rebuilt in 1876, and burned once more in 1865 by the Federal Army. Sheldon Church was named for the ancestral home of the Bull family in Warwickshire, England. Annual services are still held there the second Sunday after Easter. Located between Yemassee and Gardens Corner, the historic ruins are all that remain of one of the South's most beautiful churches. There is a small, shaded picnic area on the grounds for visitors.
