This afternoon we visited the old Episcopal church which is beautiful. The graveyard was fascinating. This is the tombstone of William Henry Cory. As you can see he was born in Clapham, London, where my sister lives! He survived the Charge of the Light Brigade and went on to serve in the Confederate Army, which he also survived. He settled in Beaufort and went on to live to the ripe old age of 62 (which was old in those days).

The church was also used as a hospital during the civil war. Apparently, the marble topped tombs made excellent operating tables!
