Junction SC Highways 52 & 45, St. Stephens, SC
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church was constructed between 1767 and 1769.
Built with money from the prosperous indigo market, it replaced the
small, wooden "frontier" chapel on the same site.
the most interesting aspects of its construction is its masonry
inscribed on the east wall above the chancel window by William Axson, a
member of the Wambaw Lodge of Freemasons. Supervisors A. Howard and
Francis Villepontoux also left their signatures.
After years of decline, several renovation efforts were mounted and
today this National Historic Landmark is the site of weekly services.
