South Carolina is dotted with ruins of churches and other historical buildings. Fire, at the hands of an enemy during war or by accident, was a common culprit. Sometimes they were ravaged to use building materials elsewhere.
Old Sheldon Church Ruins
The Old Sheldon Church in Beaufort County was originally built around 1750.
The owners of the property have recently added a fence to keep visitors out of the ruin for safety purposes and hopefully from taking souvenirs. Oddly, to me, this has become a popular spot for wedding and other portrait photographs.
The giant Live Oaks surrounding the property lend to the feeling of times gone by.
Very nice, Ellen. You can really almost feel history around places like that, and there are so many down here. It does seem like an odd place for a wedding portrait. Maybe they are archaeologists? 🙂
Thanks, Larry!
🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful shots of this special place, Ellen.
Thanks, Jane!
