Lincoln's Inn Fields, a 12-acre square, is the largest in London. It was designed in 1618 by the celebrated architect Inigo Jones to conform to the exact size and shape of the base of the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Warren Hastings, the great empire builder and first governor general of British India, fell in love with the Baroness Anna Maria Imhoff. Before her husband would grant her a divorce, Hastings turned over to him a quantity of gold equal to her weight. It took eight years before they could be legally married. By that time, Madame Imhoff was nearly 40 years old. And during 41 years of married life, he never wavered in his love for the woman he priced above gold. Believe It or Not!.
