Long day on the road, showing houses from Cane Bay to Hanahan to West Ashley yesterday. I did stop off at St Paul’s in Summerville for lunch. I’m a sucker for the goodies served at springrime tea room luncheons across the Lowcountry.
St Paul’s is beautiful in its simplicity. Now more than 175 years old, it is the oldest established church in the town. It began as a summer ministry to plantation families fleeing health concerns in the lower lying coastal plain. The pineland ridge, which became known as Summerville was settled in 1790.
