Hingham and the Lincoln Memorial.

Foggy day so decided to visit some of the Norfolk villages.

This is Hingham village sign, depicting the emigrants who went to America.
Between 1633 and 1643 approx. 200 people from the village left for USA. Among them was Samuel Lincoln ancestor of ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
There is a bust of President Lincoln in the church which was errected by many citizens of the United States. A few miles south of Boston USA is a settlement founded by the Puritan emigrants from Norfolk and also named Hingham.

The village has some beautiful elegant houses which were built in Georgian times by the country gentry for use in the winter months when the roads were bad and the wind whistled round their isolated estates.

This is the last bit of the inscription on the Lincoln Memorial which I think is very apt for today.

This memorial was errected:
"In the hope that for all ages between that land and this land and all lands there shall be malice toward none and charity for all"
