The Church of the Holy Cross began as a
chapel of ease to St. Mark's Episcopal Church,
Clarendon County. In 1788, it was granted a
charter as the Episcopal Church of Claremont.
On September 11, 1850, the cornerstone of
the present church was laid on the site
of the old church and the name
changed to the Church Of The Holy Cross. The
church is an unusually lovely mid-nineteenth
century structure of pise de terre (rammed
earth) built in a simple but highly refined
gothic revival style by the architect
Edward C. Jones, Charleston, S.C.
