点评:On a pleasant day in early December, I re-visited North Hampton and went to the Little River Church. It was built by the Free Will Baptists in 1838. In that same year, the North Hampton Congregational Church was built.
Due to falling numbers of congregants at both churches, the two merged in 1951.
This church has scalloped shingles characteristic of the Queen Anne style architecture. It has a two-stage tower. There is a fanlight window above the entrance.
Today, the Little River Church is used only during the summer months.
It has no paved parking lot – simply a grassy area.
Located away from more populated areas, the church is in a sort-of quaint setting.
I rate the Little River Church at 4.50 and can recommend a visit.
A SIDE NOTE:
The East Cemetery is next door. Famous poet-humorist Ogden Nash is buried there. Although his primary residence was in Baltimore, he also had a home in the Little Boar's Head section, so I was told.
The dirt and grass vehicle path there had deep ruts with a high mound in the middle. It appeared unsafe for the average car to drive in as it as likely to scrape the underneath of the average car.
When I have more time, I’d like to get back there and walk in some day and pay my respects.
The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews and some health issues.

翻译:12 月初的一个晴朗的日子,我再次造访了北汉普顿,并去了小河教堂。它由自由意志浸信会于 1838 年建造。同年,北汉普顿公理会教堂建成。
由于两座教堂的会众人数不断下降,两座教堂于 1951 年合并。
这座教堂采用扇形瓦片,具有安妮女王风格的建筑特色。它有一座两层塔楼。入口上方有一个扇形窗。
如今,小河教堂仅在夏季开放。
它没有铺砌的停车场——只有一片草地。
教堂远离人口稠密的地区,环境古雅。
我给小河教堂打 4.50 分,推荐参观。
附注:
东公墓就在隔壁。著名的诗人兼幽默家奥格登·纳什埋葬在那里。虽然他的主要住所位于巴尔的摩,但他在 Little Boar's Head 区也有一所房子,这是有人告诉我的。
那里的泥土和草地车道有深深的车辙,中间有一个高高的土丘。普通汽车开进去似乎不安全,因为它很可能会刮到普通汽车的底部。
当我有更多时间时,我想有一天回到那里,走进去表达我的敬意。
