Not my usual place for picture taking but I have wanted to visit this site for some time. It is here in South Carolina, known as the Sheldon Church Ruins. Built 1745-55 and burned twice ... once in 1779 by the British and then again in 1865 during the Civil War. Four images. The trees alone were worth the trip. Sadly a fence was put in place, there are many lovely images of the site without it. #raw_community #raw_community_member #ruins #oldsheldonruins #raw_abandoned #raw_architecture #raw_moody #churchruins #raw_usa #raw_southeastusa #raw_world #southcarolina #canonusa #canonr5 #natgeoyourshot #oldsouth @bpa_arts #raw_artgallery #raw_potd #pictas #podium

This trip was Epic! We got history, culture, wild life, sun and sea, cuisine, adventure and most of all time together! No matter where I travel I always seem to come back with some self reflective insight and this trip did not disappoint! I also decided on this trip, that I no longer wanted to be allergic to crab and after years of not having it due to severe reactions I ate it and... no reaction aside from šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ’œ! That day I woke up and felt I had birthed a new version of myself I looked back at the calendar and discovered it had been 9 months to the day that I had quit drinking! What an amazing adventure and my co-adventurer @brea_brea_ohho as usual is always fun and up for whatever!!!!

Main Door Way of the Old Sheldon Church Ruins in the heart of the South Carolina low country. This church had its first service in 1757, and in the travails of our Nations history was burned by British Troops in 1779, then rebuilt from the remaining walls in 1825 to 1826. Near the end of the civil war General Sherman's troops burned it a second time, and it was never rebuilt yet the walls refused to fall and still stand to this day. #oldsheldonruins #churchruins

Known also as theĀ Sheldon ChurchĀ orĀ Old Sheldon Church, the building was originally known as Prince William's Parish Church. The church was built as aĀ chapel of easeĀ in the English Georgian style, using the Roman Tuscan or Doric order, between 1745 and 1753. The traditional understanding is that Prince William's was burned by the British in 1779 during theĀ Revolutionary War, rebuilt in 1826, and then burned again in 1865 during theĀ Civil War: The official South Carolina report on the "Destruction of Churches and Church Property," after the War Between the States, described Sheldon's second burning: "All that was combustible was consumed ..., its massive walls survive the last as they did the former conflagration," Bishop Thomas wrote, "Exactly as it happened a hundred years before in 1779, when General Prevost, marching fromĀ Savannahinto South Carolina burned the Church, so now in February 1865,Ā General ShermanĀ marching from Georgia into South Carolina, burned it a second time." However, an alternative view has more recently come to light. In a letter dated February 3, 1866, Miton Leverett wrote that "Sheldon Church not burn't. Just torn up in the inside, but can be repaired." In this view, the inside of the church was apparently gutted to reuse materials to rebuild homes burnt by Sherman's army. #OldSheldonruinsĀ  #sheldonchurch #oldsheldonchurch #churchĀ  #Beaufort #SouthCarolina #beaufortsc #sc #ruins #cemetery #graveyard #churchruins #cemeterywandering #cemeterylovers #aj_graveyards #moodygrams #gravedigger #graveyard_dead #graveyard_freaks #gloomy_side_views #etoe_2 #masters_of_darkness #project_necropolis #graveyard_fanatics #kings_gothic #grave_affair #quiet_afterlife #tv_churchandgraves #cemetery_shots #cemeterylife

Old Sheldon Ruins, South Carolina. . ā€œChurch of Prince Williams Parish known as Sheldon. Build between 1745-1755. Burned by the British army 1779. Rebuilt 1826. Burned by the federal army 1865ā€ . I was someone that hated history class, the irony of it allā€¦ I love immersing myself into history. There is something about sitting somewhere that is filled with history that is so surreal. To think of all of the past events that took place. These ruins were surrounded by gravestones. I found myself wondering from plaque to plaque wondering about what type of lives the people lead. I came across a couple babies headstones and that hit me way harder than it ever had before. A new sadness I could not imagine, laying your sweet child to rest. As I walked I found myself behind the ruins. On the other side of the fence there were 4 above ground tombs. Iā€™ve only seen those in movies. I wanted so badly to go up and read the words engraved on the top. The fence to protect them was keeping me from being able to get a good vantage point. One of them had writing on the side that gave me an idea how old they were. It read ā€œWithin this tomb lie the remains of Mary Bull wife of John Bull a much beloved and lamented parent. Who died Sep. 1771. Aged 69 years.ā€. She had died 252 years ago. That was hard for my mind to comprehend. Standing there, my mind started to drift. I wondered if she knew how many people would come walk by her grave? How many people around the world had met her remains? I wondered what type of person she was, what the land looked like that long ago? Could she comprehend that a small town girl from Chimacum Washington would be standing by her side after flying across the country? I felt honored to stand next to her side for just a moment in time. . #OldSheldonRuins #Ruins #Church #SouthCarolina #SC #Brick #BrickBuilding #Adventuring #History #Land #Canon #CanonPhotography #HaileeSaulPhotography

The Old Sheldon Church Ruin sits in a secluded spot, framed by massive tree limbs along a road named after the landmark. Columns and exterior walls of what was once a Greek revival church are what remains of the second building erected on the site between 1825 and 1826. The c.1757 church burned to the ground but surviving markers in the churchyard date back to the 18th-century attest to its existence. Over the years the site has suffered from vandals who graffitied bricks with their names or stolen bricks to sell. A fence was installed to minimize damage and protect the site which is listed in the National Register if Historic Places. #discoverlowcountry #lowcountry #wanderlust #historicpreservation #heritage #community #history #buildinglove #architecture #ruins #oldsheldonruins

Sitting among the Mossy Oaks, Old Sheldon Church is one of the most beautiful ā€œruinsā€ Iā€™ve ever visited. Old Sheldon has witnessed two fires. One during the Revolutionary War and again during the Civil War, multiple hurricanes, and more visitors than one could possibly count! Before I even met my husband I knew THIS was the place I would get married and it happend right here in 2004! . Unfortunately, with the development of the internet and social media, this hidden gem is no longer hidden. Itā€™s owner (St. Helenaā€™s Church, my first employer in Beaufort šŸ˜‰) has had to place a fence around this beautiful church due to vandalism taking away from its natural beauty. You can no longer walk through the church. . It is so extremely sad that we live in a world where historical land marks are no longer safe. People want to destroy history and deface private property. šŸ˜¢ I am so glad we have been able to share this special place with our children before walls had to be put in place to protect it! We will continue to visit, it just wonā€™t be the same! . #protecthistory #historicalplace #civilwarhistory #revolutionarywar #oldsheldon #oldsheldonchurch #oldsheldonruins #oldsheldonchurchwedding #sthelenachurch #beaufortsc #southerncharm #southernhistory #history #historicchurch #historicchurches #historicchurchesofinstagram #southcarolina #itsafullhousefrenzy #saveourhistory #vandalism #protectourplanet #lowcountry #lowcountrylife

Prince Williams Parrish Church (1745-55) stored gunpowder during The Revolution. It caught fire during British Invasion.was rebuilt 1826. Burned again by Sherman in 1865. This special place is a gift of determination and preservation. Was lucky enough to visit and learn with @preservationsociety and lunch afterward at the lovely Beaufort home of @elizabeth_locke_jewels. Lucky me!

Endless summer? Is it just me or has it felt like weā€™ve been in an endless summer since the kids were dismissed from school mid-March? And, after a lot of thought, weā€™ve finally made the decision to take the virtual/homeschool option this year. At least for the first semester. We didnā€™t take this decision lightly. I asked several friends and family members, some of whom are teachers, I know and respect what their opinions are on the current situation. I know that most parents donā€™t have a flexible schedule nor the ability to work from home like I do. And I am grateful that I have those options. Weā€™re all just trying to navigate this the best way we know how. No one is doing it perfectly because no one really knows whatā€™s going on and whatā€™s to come. So be gentle with other people and especially parents as they make decisions that best suits their family. Weā€™re all in this together.ā¤ļø #joysumnerphotography #joysumnerphoto #joysumnerbeachsessions

This was one of my favorite weddings ever. Shanna had the most beautiful babyā€™s breath bouquets. The simple look of these bouquets were the perfect vibe for this sweet wedding. Shanna + Joey were married in the Old Sheldon Church Ruins in Beaufort, South Carolina. The crumbling ruins of this church were massive and breathtaking.

Trip day 14. Spent the first half of the day in #atlanta. Checked out the #mlkhistoricsite #mlkhistoricpark while rocking my #mlk t-shirt. :) Stopped by the #krogstreettunnel and on the way there, saw a mural gem with #wutang #wutangclan #rza. Had an amazing lunch at #hattiebs #hattiebshotchicken . So good! Stopped by #vortex as well and then got some coffee for the road from #auroracoffee. About a 5 hour drive to #charleston. Stopped at the #oldsheldonruins. Interesting spot off the beaten path. It was burned down during the American Revolution and again during the Civil War. Got to Charleston, checked in at the hotel, walked a bit, and had a great dinner at #rawbar167. #streetart #churchruins #thesampler #oysterpoboy #lobsterroll #travel

In this view, the inside of the church was apparently gutted to reuse materials to rebuild homes burnt by Sherman's army. *thank you again @georgia_cemeteries for telling me about this place! #OldSheldonruinsĀ  #sheldonchurch #oldsheldonchurch #princewilliamsparishchurch #churchĀ  #Beaufort #SouthCarolina #beaufortsc #sc #ruins #chapelofease #lowcountry #cemetery #graveyard #churchruins #burntchurch #pirosherman #coastalsouthcarolina #lookup #lookuprichmond #rva #etoe_2 #abandoned

Image captured 3 years ago. An artist at work, Old Sheldon Ruins. Color brings a painting and photograph to life. I had heard of gentleman who would set up his painting of the ruins, paint supplies and sit at the ruins working on his painting. I asked to take his picture, he was so excited to allow me to photograph. I have been back several times but have never run into this guy. Anyone seen him? I would love to frame him a copy if he liked. I photoshopped the black and white in for artistic effects. An artist brings life to a canvass. ā€” ļæ¼feeling thankful at Old Sheldon Church Ruins. #onlyinsouthcarolina #sc #southcarolina #carolinastrong #oldsheldonchurch #oldsheldonruins #artist #church #beaufort #beaufortsc #artistic #scenicplaces #discoversouthcarolina #photography #steverichphotography #art #artgallery #beaufortartassociation #beaufortart #painting

About half way between Savannah and Charleston we took a short detour to see the Old Sheldon Church Ruins. ā € . ā € The original church was built between 1745 and 1753. It is believed that the church was first burned in 1779 by the British during the Revolutionary War. It was later rebuilt in 1826 and then burned again in 1865 during the Civil War. # If you find yourself traveling between Savannah and Charleston, or in the Beaufort, SC area I encourage you to make a stop here. It is surprisingly beautiful. # #lowcountry #southcarolina #oldsheldonruins #ushistory #oldsheldonchurchruins #sclowcountry #abandonedruins #discoversc #travelwithkids #kidstravel #familytravel #gowithnugget #travelfamily #letthembelittle #familytravelgram #travelmadfam #letthemexplore #seetheworld #travelvloggers #ushistory

šŸ‘» I loved interviewing a local ghost hunter here in Greenville for a story for @kidaroundsc. She even mentioned this place in the photo as having lots of paranormal activity - it certainly was creepy but cool!

Built between 1745 ā€“ 1755, South Carolinaā€™s Old Sheldon Church is now in ruins. Legend has it a woman named Ann Bull Heyward haunts her gravesite at the adjoining cemetery, while a feeling of sorrow reportedly comes over visitors who walk near a childā€™s tombstone.

This hidden gem of the Low Country is located off the beaten path just north of Savannah in beautiful Beaufort County, South Carolina. The Old Sheldon Church Was originally constructed in 1753, previously known as Prince William's Parish Church. During the Revolutionary War, the church served as a military strategic site. As a result, the church was burned down in 1779 by the British. In 1826, the structure was rebuilt, and with it, it was renamed Sheldon Church, as it was near to the local Sheldon Hall Plantation. In 1865, during the famous Sherman's March to the Sea, the church was again burned down by the Federal Army. To this day, the ruins remain and attract many tourists traveling through the area. . . . #oldsheldon #oldsheldonchurch #oldsheldonchurchruins #oldsheldonruins #exploresouthcarolina #adventure #OldChurch #ruins #optoutside #rei1440project #nikon_photography #nikon #history #historylesson #explore #beautiful #fog #brick #church #oak #SpanishMoss #roadtrip
