Jericho Methodist Church [mile and A Half East]
Inscription
* Originally erected by the South Carolina Historical Commission, c. 1929-1936. Currently housed in South Carolina Department of Archives and History. † No longer extant. Replaced by marker 9-11 in 2015. Bishop Francis Asbury stopped in this region in 1801 and 1803. About 1811, a congregation was organized and by 1815 Jericho Meeting House was standing on land given by Jacob Felkel.
The present building there was apparently erected before 1850. A low partition separating the men and women and a slave gallery were removed in 1890 and a porch was added. Two annexes were built later.
