Book Description
Excerpt from A Historic Sketch of the Parish Church of St. Michael, in the Province of South Carolina: From the Laying of the Corner Stone in 1752 to 1887, With a Roll of Its Rectors and Assistant Ministers; Wardens, Vestrymen; The Original Pew Owners; Inscriptions From the Mural Tablets, &C It will also be noticed that the name of the architect is given as Gibson - a name of which we can find no men tion elsewhere; but James Gibbs was the designer of St. Martins-in-the-fields, London, and a legend tells us that our church is a copy of that building. Aglance at the pictures of the two shows this to be an error, and one is puzzled to account for the story. If, however, they were planned by the same person, we can see how it arose. Add to this the similarity of Gibbs and Gibson; the fact that the spires of both churches spring through the roof - a blunder never committed by Sir Christopher Wren - and the farther fact that Gibbs lived till 1754, and, we think, there is little doubt that St. Michael's was the work of Gibbs. This, however, is as each pleases. There is no evi dence, so far as we can learn, that Sir Christopher Wren was the architect, and the fact that he died in 1723 is against the legend which has some hold on our people.
