My ancestors, Richard and Mary Kennington, along with their children, lived in Louth, Lincolnshire, England, before coming to the United States in the 1850s.
Can anyone tell me anything about Louth?
According to Wikipedia, Louth has a population of 15,000. "Much of the town centre is lined with brick buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries and the town's skyline is dominated by St. James' Church," it says. "Louth museum has a Panorama Gallery which features two back-lit replicas of William Brown’s Panorama of Louth viewed from the top of St James’s spire in 1844."
Here is a website about St. James Church: http://www.stjameschurchlouth.com.
Famous Louth resident: Alfred Lord Tennyson was born in Somersby, between Louth and Horncastle, and was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School.
Above is a photo of St. James Church in Louth Lincolnshire, seen across the sports fields of the King Edward V1 school (formerly King Edward V1 Boys Grammar School). This photo was found on Flickr here.
