Strawberry Chapel is the only surviving structure of Childsbury. The chapel was built ca. 1725. The church building is constructed of stuccoed brick with a jerkin head roof. The exterior is plainly finished, with keystone arch openings and fanlights over the windows and doors. The chapel cemetery also is notable for its many eighteenth and nineteenth century grave markers. The earliest identified marker is that of the Reverend Daniel A. M. Dwight (d. 1748). Family names frequently represented are Ball, Stoney, Simons, Waring, Prioleau and Harleston. Strawberry Chapel and the site of Childsbury are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
