| Notes | On the Ashley Rive Road is this old Episcopal Church; construction begin in 1706, enlarged as a cruciform in 1723, it is the oldest example of Episcopal architecture in South Carolina. The Church formerly served as a financial yardstick for its parishioners - the front pews renting higher than the rear ones. St. Andrews was once the wealthiest parish in the Colonies. |
