A picket fence marks the front yard, and a cemetery holds the remains of founding plantation owners. Inside, the chapel has been described as sparsely beautiful. It is definitely austere and a bit stern. One of the two identical porticos was enclosed in 1852 to create a vestry room. Otherwise, untouched by the decades, the vaulted ceiling still retains its original plaster covering. Chest-high boxed pews crafted from hand-pegged cypress rest upon flagstone floors. While the little chapel may have survived the ravages of war and time, its congregation did not. After the Civil War, the 13 families that had been the original Wambaw Church family relocated to McClellanville, a nearby coastal shrimping community. When muddy roads often made it difficult to return to the old Brick Church for services, a new Episcopal Chapel of Ease was built in the village and gradually became the permanent home for Sunday worshippers. It continues to offer regular weekly services today under the ministry of Rev. William L. (Roy) Hills, Jr. The old Brick Church reopens twice a year. Both the King’s Highway and the St. James, Santee’s Wambaw Church are on the National Registry of Historic Places and worth a friendly visit. Entrance to the King’s Highway is accessible between Rutledge Road and SC Highway 45.
