Biggin Church, Colonial church ruins in Moncks Corner, US.

Biggin Church is a colonial church ruin near Moncks Corner composed of brick walls with architectural details including a rounded water table and arched window openings. The remains show building techniques from the early colonial period.

The parish of St. John's, Berkeley was created by the 1704 Assembly Act and the 1706 Church Act, with land donated by Landgrave John Colleton. A first church built around 1711 burned in a forest fire around 1755; its 1761 replacement counted Henry Laurens and William Moultrie among parishioners. British troops used it as a depot and burned it during their 1781 retreat, and it was rebuilt. After the Civil War it fell into neglect and burned again around 1886, 1890 or the 1890s, after which its bricks were scavenged.

The cemetery contains gravestones from many generations of local residents and remains an active burial ground today. These markers tell the story of the families who lived in this area over centuries.

The ruin is located near Highway 402 and remains open for visitors during daylight hours without requiring tickets. Good walking shoes are recommended since the ground is uneven and an active cemetery is on the property.

The surviving entrance wall keeps a Gibbs surround, a framed doorcase with alternating block quoins, flanked by two arched windows with brick voussoirs. The same wall shows rounded-brick water table and corner quoins. The church was built in English bond, about 30 by 60 feet, and burned for the last time around 1886, 1890 or in the 1890s, after which its bricks were taken for other building projects.
