DENIS PARISH CHURCH: AN ANGLO-FRANCO ALLIANCE IN THE LOWCOUNTRY A Thesis Project Presented to The Graduate Schools of Clemson University and the College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Robert Shelton Converse May 2011 Accepted by: Carter L. Hudgins, Ph.D., Committee Chair Frances H. Ford Richard Marks III Barry L. Stiefel, Ph.D. Ashley R. Wilson, AIA and ASID ABSTRACT Now vacant and seldom used, St. Thomas and St. Denis Church is a small, neo- classical building constructed in 1819 to serve one of the original colonial parishes carved out of Berkeley County, South Carolina. Even though it has been included in numerous publications devoted to the history of religion in early South Carolina, this church has never been systematically recorded nor has its role been thoroughly explored.
