Hingham is a small market town and civil parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, lying roughly 15 miles west of Norwich. It has a compact centre of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings around a market area, a medieval parish church and the surrounding agricultural landscape that gives it a distinctly rural yet settled character.
Historically the town is notable for a 17th‑century link with emigrants who helped found Hingham, Massachusetts, a fact often mentioned in local history. Today the economy is a mix of farming, small local businesses and residents who commute into Norwich, while social life revolves around community halls, clubs, seasonal events and village amenities that sustain a strong local identity.
