St. Helena's Chapel of Ease is a MUST see!!
Updated: Oct 8, 2019
There are two historical church ruins in Beaufort County, South Carolina. St. Helena's Chapel of Ease and The Old Sheldon Church Ruins. The Parish Church of St. Helena manages both properties. These locations are for elopements ONLY with NO decorations. Check out our post of Real Elopements at the Chapel of Ease!
This church was built in the mid-1700's. Due to the main church being in downtown Beaufort, this chapel was built to be closure to planters' homes. The chapel was taken by the government early in the Civil War. Slaves were in a state of limbo, not enslaved but not fully freed and this became an outpost for the Port Royal Experiment to help transition slaves. A forest fire destroyed the building in 1886 and it was never rebuilt.

Travel fees of $40 can be added to any elopement package! Contact us today for more information. Take a moment to view Old Sheldon Ruins.
