When we visited it was a quiet rainy day. We were the only people there. It feels a little magical standing within the walls while looking up at the sky, knowing how long ago others stood in the same spot as I was standing. Inside the remains of that church, you can imagine the songs that probably filled that space.

Such a beautiful piece of history hidden away on the side of the road. We stopped by for a few minutes to explore, and ended up spending almost an hour there. We loved feeling the seashells on the bones of the Parish. There were dozens of headstones to read. The whole atmosphere of the area had a tranquil feel to it, and drew us in. We didn't want to leave. The grounds welcomed us like an old friend. Take a little time to explore the grounds for yourself! Definitely worth a stop.

Awesome history. The building has been preserved well. The site has the actual chapel and a historic cemetery.

Beautiful ruins with history marker! We were the only ones there and were able to really look at everything and appreciate what was once there.

Heritage Day the second week in November, will definitely be a great time to visit! Parades, great seafood, Stage shows, & plenty family fun! I advise anyone, who wants to learn the history of Penn Center, to definitely visit around this time, just to feel the experience!

Beautiful, historic, placid, and free. An easily accessible stop only a couple of minutes out of the way if you're going to Hunting Island SP. There's a historical market that tells a little, but so much more can be learned! It's a beautiful photogenic spot best visited when the lighting conditions are perfect. We arrived a few minutes after the sun had dipped, with a sky that was still fully lit with soft roses and oranges. We were too rushed to fully explore the burial grounds, but we'll be back next year. Big thank yous to whomever maintains this beautiful historic ruins! Our family loved it!

Such an awesome place! We found this randomly driving by, we were alone and it was kind of spooky. Great piece of history and local lore.

Such a haunting beautiful tranquil place. Admiring the architecture and serenity for this beautiful low country site. I love old churches and it's a quick stop on the way to Fort Fremont.

A glimpse into the past. Sadly, the church was lost to fire, but you can still see the tabby architecture and slots where beams once held the roof up. There are also grave markers and headstones dating to the 1800s that are a must read to see into the hearts and lives of the 19th century residents.

Fantastic piece of history. Well preserved. love the Spanish moss on the old oak trees, and the shells and the construction of the walls.

I like to stop at historical sites and share the history with my children. We saw the gravesites of the Fripp family among others. Very well kept and the remaining structures were beautiful. The children laid coin atop the gravesites.

Great historic site of the Chapel of Ease. Built around 1740 out of tabby it was made a separate church after the revolution. Burned by forest fire in 1886

Fantastic spot for some history, sightseeing and relaxing. Bring a picnic and make an afternoon of it. It is a roadside attraction so there is no entrance fee. It is also a pet friendly location, good for the whole family.
