Regarding Pompion Hill Chapel: Pompion Hill Chapel was finished by private subscription. The architect's name, with Masonic symbol, and date, are inscribed on bricks near the door. * Can Someone tell me what the date is , that is inscribed on the bricks near the door? Thanks, CJK

Does this help, CJ? Pompion Hill was the first church of worship east of the Cooper River. It was organized in 1703 and erected in 1765. This chapel was designed and built by Zachariah Villeponteaux, who whose initials are carved into the bricks on the sides of both doors. The interior shows the influence of St. Michael's in the palladian window of the chancel as well as in the pulpit. It is a lovely interior with an unusual arrangement of furnishings. Few services were held here after the Civil War, but residents of the parish and their descendants have maintained this building. A roadside historical marker by the church describes its history.
