All Saints' Episcopal Church, Waccamaw, Historic Episcopal church in Pawleys Island, United States.
All Saints' Episcopal Church is a one-story rectangular brick sanctuary finished in scored stucco, built 1916–1917 as the fourth church on this site. Its engaged pedimented portico rests on four fluted Greek Doric columns, and a Doric frieze of triglyphs, metopes and guttae runs beneath the cornice on three sides. Inside, a wide center aisle leads under a coved tray ceiling.
The current building was constructed in 1916 and 1917 to replace a structure that burned down the year before. The congregation itself dates back to 1739, making this one of the older religious communities in the area.
The cemetery, laid out in the 1820s, holds the graves of many leading public figures of antebellum Georgetown County. It is also noted for gravestone art carved between about 1820 and 1900, so the markers themselves are worth studying. The separately listed Cedar Grove Plantation Chapel is associated with the church.
The church can be visited during daylight hours to see the building and grounds at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to walk through the cemetery, as the paths wind through grass and older burial grounds.
