Biggins Church Ruins

Location: Moncks Corner, SC

Biggins church was built in 1711 and served as a place of worship for many years.  The original structure was the church of the parish of St. John's Berkeley.  There has been many reconstructions on the church due to it being burned and damaged in three fires. 

The church was used up until the civil war, but was damage during the war.  After the burning of the church in the 1890's there has been no attempt to rebuild the church.  The ruins of the church are surrounded by many burial sites and the number of tombstones continues to grow til this day.
