St. Thaddeus Episcopal Church is parish of the Episcopal Church in Aiken, South Carolina in the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina. It is noted for its historic church at Pendleton and Richland Streets. [4] [5]

Aiken is a planned community, and land for the church had been set aside in the original plan by the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company. The cornerstone for the original church was laid September 5, 1842. This building was subsequently renovated and expanded over the years, and additional buildings added to the campus. [6] The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
