| Notes | St. Paul's Church (Episcopal) which ranks historically as Norfolk's most interesting exhibit. This edifice, ivory covered, surrounded by an ancient church-yard embracing nearly two acres, twice fired on by the British, and still retaining, embedded in its walls, a shell fired by Dunmore, the English Colonial Governor, New Year's day, 1776. One of the treasures of St. Paul's is the chair in which John Hancock sat when he attached his signature to the Declaration of Independence. |
