Excerpt from 200th Anniversary of the Building of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Edenton, North Carolina At the time of the establishment of the Colony of Carolina under the Lords Proprietors in 1663, it was contemplated and provided for in the charter that the Church of England should be made the established church of the province. Although the Lords Proprietors were committed to the policy of the established church, they did not attempt to erect the establishment until about 40 years after they received the charter.
