This location was the furthest upstream that ships could travel. He established a ferry across the river.〔 The town of Childsbury was planned for the bluff.〔 At one time, the town had a tavern, school, chapel, race track, general store, and ferry. A tanner, butcher, shoemaker and carpenters lived in the town.〔 〕 Due to the growth of nearby plantations, the town withered. By 1750, the chapel and tavern continued to be used. Fairs were held until the mid-1750s.〔 The chapel was a parochial chapel of ease of the Parish of St. John's, Berkeley. The parish church at the time was Biggin Church, which is about away. The designation of "parochial" meant that it had the authority to baptize and bury the dead. By 1825, Strawberry Chapel replaced Biggins Church as the parish church.〔 The town is now a South Carolina Heritage Preserve.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strawberry Chapel and Childsbury Town Site」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
