[Photo #1] A heavily traveled 4-lane Highway No. 17 headed north-east, roughly paralleling the coast, to Georgetown and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The driveway to Christ Church is just this side of the state historical marker on the right.

The historical marker reads: "Christ Church - The Church Act of 1706 created Christ Church Parish. The first church, a wooden structure built in 1707, accidentally burned in 1725. A brick church was erected in 1726, and although the British burned it in 1782 and the interior was destroyed by Union Troops in 1865, the original walls still stand. In 1874, the church was restored and consecrated."
