Strawberry Chapel | |||||||||
Various legends and tales surround the chapel of Strawberry. One true story describes the ordeal of Catherine Chicken who, at age seven, was tied to a tombstone by her schoolmaster one dark night in 1748. Rescued by a faithful servant, "Little Mistress Chicken" survived and her tormentor was driven from town. A chapel of simple yet dignified architecture, Strawberry is the site of annual services. Strawberry is located on Highway 44 just off SC Highway 402 on the Cooper River approximately 10 miles from Moncks Corner. | |||||||||

Taking its name from a bluff on the East Side of
the Cooper River's West Bank, Strawberry Chapel was constructed as a chapel of ease by an Act of Assembly to St. John's Biggin Church. It was built about 1725 on land bequeathed by James Child, founder of the long abandoned town of Childsburg.
