Sheldon Church Remains

Sheldon Church Ruins, Yemassee, South Carolina  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



Surviving burnings by two invading armies, in two distant wars,
 the remains of colonial era Sheldon Church are a reminder of the Lowcountry's turbulent history. 

 Ironically, its quiet setting in the countryside makes it a perfect place for a peaceful stroll.

    Surprising ruins! Looks like Roman ones. Beautiful composition too: the tree brings a lot.
    Have a nice day.
