Church.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins

The brick ruins are of a church built in the mid-1700s, burned by the British in 1779, rebuilt, then destroyed again in the waning days and aftermath of the Civil War. Surrounded by trees overhung with Spanish moss, which lend even more eerie atmosphere to the desolation.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins

These church ruins are along a two-lane road out in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful setting, quiet and very peaceful. A few graves are around the ruins. Even found one with my first name on it!
