The Edenton Bell Battery, 3rd Battalion North Carolina Light Artillery Company B, was an artillery unit from North Carolina that served the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War.
Originally named the Albemarle Artillery as most of the men were from North Carolina's Albemarle area, but after metal bells were donated by Edenton, North Carolina to be made into cannon, the battery's name was changed to the Edenton Bell Battery. The bells were sent to Richmond, Virginia where they were melted down and made into four bronze cannon by the Tredegar Iron Works. The cannon were named the St. Paul, Edenton, Fannie Roulac, and Columbia.
The battery served in Virginia with the Army of Northern Virginia at the Seven Days Battle and Battle of Fredericksburg. In 1863 the battery was sent to North Carolina and fought in the Battle of Kinston. On January 15 1865 after the fall of Fort Fisher the battery engaged in a fighting retreat towards Wilmington. While retreating, the St. Paul and its gun crew were captured in the Battle of Town Creek. The remaining battery fought in the Battle of Bentonville. The Edenton was surrendered with the surviving men of the battery and Army of Tennessee under General Johnston on April 26, 1865. The Fannie Roulac and Columbia were rumored to have been dumped into the Eno River during the unit's retreat with Confederate forces west of Raleigh after the Battle of Bentonville.
