St. Paul's Episcopal Church and Churchyard is a historic Episcopal church located at W. Church and Broad Streets in Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina. It was built between 1736 and 1766, and is a five-bay, brick church building with a gable roof. It features a slightly engaged square tower. The interior was restored to its 19th-century appearance following a fire in 1949. The churchyard includes the graves of a number of prominent personages including Stephen Cabarrus, Governor Charles Eden, Governor Thomas Pollock, and Henderson Walker.
St. Paul's Parish was established in 1701,[2] as part of the colonial Church of England. The church is the second oldest church building in North Carolina, and the only colonial church still in regular parish use.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
