Hilton

The stone memorial at the centre of the turf maze in Hilton village green, cut in 1660, reads Sic transit gloria mundi  which means: thus passes the glory of this world .  The quote, often attributed the 15th century De Imitatione Christi, usually refers to the transient nature of worldly things. I know what they mean! 

Information on Hilton, together with a fabulous historical image archive, can be found on the Hilton Village website here.
