Beautiful historic church! Welcoming people, ample free parking and cool old cemetery. Ever been to an Anglican church? Me neither, until today. We were camping in Charleston and I wanted to go to the big old churches downtown, but none could accommodate our camper in their parking lot. Old St Andrew’s is just as unique in its understated simplicity. Everyone was so warm and welcoming to guests

I cannot comment on St Andrews as a place to worship; my review is based on visiting the grounds and church as an historic site and tourist attraction. The grounds are beautiful and the church is one of my favorites in Charleston. In the spring the church hosts a tea room as a fund raiser. If you just want to take in a beautiful and historic location in Charleston, this is worth the drive.
