Located at 100 West Church Street in Edenton, North Carolina, St. Paul's Episcopal Church is North Carolina's second oldest church building. In addition, it is the oldest church building in the state that is still being used regularly. Under the provisions of the Vestry Act of 1701, St. Paul's was the first parish in the colony to organize.

The churchyard of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Edenton, N.C. was begun in 1722, when Edenton became the capital of North Carolina. Because of a lack of stone along the coast, tombstones were rare and costly. Markers of brick or wood gradually weathered away. The churchyard is not crowded today because many of the 700 known graves are not marked. Buried in the cemetery is Charles Eden, Penelope Golland Johnston. Gabriel Johnston and others from my family line.
