This is one of those historical treasures that should not exist. Yet 300+ years and it is here, on the land owned by the same plantation families. They have taken it upon themselves to be the stewards of the land and chapel.
Today we were able to return and shoot Strawberry again. Our last visit was 2022 while a huge number of repairs were under way.
In 1725 this was considered the frontier. The British Lord Proprietors had given land grants to English nobility, who in turn gave land to planters. This land was part of the Coming / BallĀ (Comingtee Plantation) family land.
The chapel is open with four services yearly. Today being open for photography of the completed repairs (and to raise funds, this is not cheap to maintain). The chapel usually doesn’t have photographers, and commercial photography is prohibited.
Inside photographs are still to be reviewed.
