EL Zoom Lecture on John Lothrop

This plaque is found at Lothrop Hill, Massachusetts, USA

There was another opportunity on Monday to get together on Zoom and to hear another illustrated lunch time lecture. This one from Norman Hopkins was an obscure one being on the life of John Lothrop (1584–1653). Norman likes a Kent connection which he found but the story begins in Yorkshire and goes on to New England, where Lothrop ministered for nearly twenty years. He was the ancestor of at least four US presidents. Numbers were a little down. Maybe that was the announced subject. If so, people miscalculated. A recording will be available from the Library in due time.
