There is something about this ruin-almost a spectral presence on my visit.One of the most famous American self taught artists lived down the road. His name was Sam Doyle and he was the caretaker here back in the 1980's. Sam is long gone but I felt him here, 30 years after my first visit.

While staying on St Helena I ventured over to the Chapel. The remains are well intact and a great example of tabby. It was a peaceful place under the live oaks, there were a few graves of which I've heard are haunted. There was a descriptive historical marker. This is a great spot for photos.

Interesting adventure to see how the people lived a hundred years ago. A little difficult to get to.

Take the time a see Chapel of Ease. Beautiful old remains of a different time. Walk around and see the "footprints" of where the orginal Chapel sat.

We stopped here at night because the kids were a little whiney about historic trips. So in order to show them history could be interesting, we stopped at this creeper spot, and read them the ghost story from the book we picked up in historic Beaufort. There is a huge floodlight that comes on at night, I expect to deter too many shenanigans ... worth a stop for some freaky fun.

Photo opportunity.Until I saw the pictures submitted by fellow Trip Advisor participant, CCC_wanderlust, I had not considered this as a place to visit, but her “Tabby details” photo and the marvelous light she had for her shoot intrigued me.Tabby, I learned, is a construction material made of equal parts water, lime, sand, ash and oyster shells and the texture it creates is a photographer’s muse.Modest as they are, these ruins are worth a stop if you are on St. Helena Island.A special nod to CCC_wanderlust for her inspiration.Date of Visit: 19Mar14

Not a lot to do here, but it is interesting to see if you are in the area, should also stop at fort Fremont and the Penn center. That way you can make a few hours out of it. Have lunch in Beaufort or Port Royal. Nice day trip from Hilton head

Don't miss this old ruins if your in the area. There are a few graves of children and some we couldn't read. I hear that the remains of the old church are made from seashells. This is a great place for photos. It's small but quiet and very interesting.

The Chapel of Ease is not far off of the main roads around Beaufort. Worth the short stop to explore an 18th century ruin with interesting historical ties. Thank you to the reviewer who mentioned that the shell material used for the walls is tabby. I never would have known about Beaufort's tradition of British tabby building. An interesting article on tabby: "Tabby: The Oyster Shell Concrete of the Lowcountry" by Dennis Adams. http://www.beaufortcountylibrary.org/htdocs-sirsi/tabby.htm

nice old historic stop, outside of Beaufort. Excellent for photos and for history buffs. The ghost legend associated with the graves is kinda spooky.
