Informations supplémentaires:
The St. Paul's Episcopal Church began construction in 1736 when Edenton was the North Carolina state capital but was not completed for close to 40-years, after the capital had been relocated elsewhere. The building has undergone extensive renovations in 1806 to 1809 when much of the woodwork, flooring, pews and steeple were installed and again in 1949-50. Fire destroyed the gallery, roof and steeple in 1949 but because the building had been stripped for renovations, most of the woodwork, flooring, pews and religious artifacts survived the fire and are still visible today. The churchyard cemetery dates to 1722 when it served as the city cemetery but the early graves often were marked with bricks or wood that has long since deteriorated. As such most of the 700 known graves are unmarked, giving the churchyard an uncrowded appearance. The church is still active today, three centuries after its first congregation.
