We saw a sign for some church ruins. How could I not go? These ruins are owned by a private owner and can be walked around free of charge.

Known also as the Sheldon Church or Old Sheldon Church, the building was originally known as Prince William's Parish Church. The church was built as a chapel of ease in the English Georgian style, using the Roman Tuscan or Doric order, between 1745 and 1753.

The traditional understanding is that Prince William's was burned by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War, rebuilt in 1826, and then burned again in 1865 during the Civil War:

Palmera Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying here, and for the price it was absolutely worth it. We’ve stayed at other hotels in the area that cost the same or less, and none have been as clean or reliable as Palmera Inn. Of course, like any hotel, there is some normal wear and tear, but it was far less noticeable than at other nearby properties. The staff was very kind and helpful throughout our stay! "
