Edmundsbury

A brick Chapel of Ease for St. Bartholomew's Parish was built here in 1785 in a town laid out in 1740 and named for Landgrave Edmund Bellinger. The vestry reported the chapel unfit for use in 1786, and in 1810 it fell in ruins. A new chapel was built in 1819, burnt 1852, rebuilt 1854, and was wrecked by Union troops in 1865.

Marker is at the intersection of Ace Basin Parkway (U.S. 17) and Clover Hill Road, on the right when traveling north on Ace Basin Parkway.
