It has beautiful Georgian buildings surrounding its charming old market place, and in other streets, which is why it is being conserved.
Hingham is small enough for people to know each other but large enough to have a lively and active community, and its facilities and interesting shops have the special character of a small market town.
In the picture above you can see the carved town sign. These signs are a feature of Norfolk villages. This one shows some of the early 17th century parishioners leaving the town to sail to the New World.
A similar sign stands in Hingham MA where many of those travellers went.
One of those who left was Samuel Lincoln, whose direct descendant was President Abraham Lincoln.whose bust is to be found in the beautiful 14th Century church of St Andrews. Hingham also has a library and two pubs (both of which serve food)
There is a purpose-built sports centre with floodlit tennis courts, and golf courses, riding centres, places to fish and excellent walks nearby. You could even go sailing on the Broads.
So now is the time to explore our site and see all the good things that Hingham and the surrounding area has to offer you and enhance your visit to Norfolk.
If you come to stay in Hingham you can enjoy all the benefits of a historic small town, and yet be able to enjoy a wide range of activities nearby.
