Traveling and discovering different parts of the world often brings us across the enchanting and enigmatic charm of deserted locations. As we journey and explore different corners of the planet, we are lured to these remnants of the past, trying to imagine the lives of the people who once inhabited the now-dilapidated buildings.
These deserted structures are powerful reminders of history, providing glimpses into a time gone by. In this writing, I delve into the hauntingly picturesque remains of an abandoned church, known as one of South Carolina’s most captivating abandoned places.
The Old Sheldon Church, located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, was built in the mid-1700s. Despite its age, it has stood the test of time and still remains today. This historical landmark has a rich history dating back to the American Revolutionary War. Originally known as Prince William’s Parish Church, it was constructed in 1753 and was designed in the English Georgian style. It has been speculated that it may have been the first attempt in the country to mimic the architectural style of a Greek temple.
