Their leadership came from the religious congregations of English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in the East Midlands of England for the relative calm and tolerance of Holland in the Netherlands . Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the oldest continuously inhabited British settlement and the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia

   Extractions: Posters and DVDs When James I came to the throne, he adopted a moderate Protestant religious policy. Both Catholics and Puritans were forbidden to practice their religions. Many extreme Puritans left England for Holland where Puritanism was accepted. In 1607 Walter Raleigh had founded the English colony of Virginia in America and companies had begun trading between the colony and England. Who were they? Thirty-five members of the radical, Puritan, English Separatist Church, who had fled to Holland to avoid persecution, were recruited by an English stock company to go to Virginia to protect their business interests. The stock company financed the venture which, when it left England, included 102 men, women and children. The Journey The Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Southampton in August 1620 but were forced to port in Dartmouth and Plymouth for repairs. They eventually departed Plymouth for America on 16th September 1620 in the 'Mayflower' and steered a course for Virginia. The ship was a double-decked, three-masted vessel. However, a storm blew them off course and they reached land at Cape Cod which they subsequently renamed Plymouth Rock. Anchor was dropped on November 21st 1620.

They had heard of the colony of Virginia , and their thoughts were directed to the wilderness of the New World. THE 'SPEEDWELL' AND 'MAYFLOWER' SHIPS Through the friendship and aid of Sir Edwin Sandys, and others, they secured a little money and purchased a little vessel, the Speedwell , hired another, the Mayflower , and determined to cross the wide waters to America, where they might worship God in their own way and still be Englishmen. Having secured a grant from the Virginia Company to settle in the Hudson Valley, and a promise from the king that he would not interfere with them, and having mortgaged themselves to a company of London merchants, they set forth with brave hearts to encounter the unknown perils of the sea and of the wilderness.

   Extractions: There are several museums that have researched and brought together information and artefacts related to the original Separatists and the 102 passengers of the Mayflower who became the Pilgrim Fathers. In the United Kingdom the Bassetlaw Museum in Retford in Nottinghamshire and Gainsborough Old Hall have researched the origins of the local Separatists and their subsequent leadership of the Pilgrim Fathers. They have some archives and Bassetlaw Museum has a document extracting information of local interest from William Bradford's History of Plimoth Plantation. It includes the Obituary of William Brewster and letters from John Robinson. Dr. Jeremy Bangs, one of the leading historians on the Pilgrim Fathers, has recently published, on the Internet , the first chapter of a new book - 'The Pilgrims, Leiden and the Early Years of Plymouth Plantation' - which provides extensive detail on the heritage of the local Separatists and their reasons for leaving England for Holland. Boston on the East coast of Lincolnshire has a strong heritage in the rise of the Puritans, who included the Separatists. Plymouth in Devon, after which the Plimoth Colony was named is twinned with Plymouth, Massachusetts. It has researched the details surrounding

    Extractions: Home Early Life England Return ... Reflection WHO WAS SQUANTUM? On March 16, 1621, an important event occured for the Pilgrim Fathers. An Indian, Samoset, walked into their Plymouth settlement and called out "Welcome Englishmen, Welcome Englishmen." After he spoke, the Pilgrims whispered in amazement. The man spoke English. He seemed friendly, so the Pilgrims greeted him openly, yet cautiously. Samoset told them he would return with his friend who spoke better English. When he returned as he had promised, he brought not only his friend Squantum (Squanto,) but also Massasoit (the sachem or tribal chief.) Samoset indroduced Squantum to the Pilgrims as "a native of this place who had been in England and could speak better English than himself. " With the help of Squantum's interpretation, Massasoit and Governor Carver made a peace treaty that would last for at least fifty more years. After the treaty was signed Massasoit returned to Rhode Island. Squantum (Squanto) choose to remain with the settlers and to teach them methods of survival in the new land. Squantum's life before he met the Pilgims was intermingled with that of European adventurers who were establishing ties in the New World during that period. His life story is one of betrayal, grief, and loss mixed with excitement, adventure, and good fortune.

    Extractions: In 1620 one hundred Puritans boarded the ‘Mayflower’ bound for the New World. These people were the Pilgrim Fathers. The Pilgrim Fathers saw little chance of England becoming a country in which they wished to live. They viewed it as un-Godly and moving from a bad to worse state. The Pilgrim Fathers believed that a new start in the New World was their only chance. A lot of the trials and tribulations about where they should sail to, the journey across the Atlantic to the New World and the initial problems experienced by the Pilgrim Fathers are contained in a diary written by William Bradford. “The place they thought of was one of those vast and unpeopled countries of America, which are fruitful and fit for living. There are only savages and brutish men, just like wild beasts. This idea led to many and different opinions. But, after many things were said, it was agreed by the major part to carry it out. Some were keen for Guiana, or some of those fertile places in those hot climates. Others were for some part of Virginia. After they had enjoyed fair winds and weather for a time, they met cross winds and many fierce storms. With these the ship was greatly shaken, and her upper decks made very leaky. In many of these storms, winds were so fierce and the seas so high that they could not carry a scrap of sail. A in one of them, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming for some occasion upon deck, was with a heel of the ship thrown into the sea. But, it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail ropes, which hung overboard and ran out at length.”

Here, the shackles of poverty, restriction and injustice would magically fall away and in this second Garden of Eden, men and women could at long last be free to pursue their own destiny. It was, of course, a utopian dream and took no account of the perils that lurked in unknown territory which was already occupied by native Americans, not all of whom were friendly. Nevertheless, the dream was extremely potent, not only for those who sought AmericaÕs fabled wealth, but those whose consciences were chained by religious persecution. The Protestant Reformation, which had begun in 1517, had reached England some twenty years later. As elsewhere in Europe, it spawned dissenting minorities who were rather more ascetic in the practice of their new faith than the Church of England which was Protestant in name, but was, effectively, Catholicism without the Pope. Of these, the plain-living Puritans who eschewed what they saw as the gaudy, papist show of the English church, were the most overt and became the most oppressed. In 1609, the Puritans found England so inimical that 35 of them left the country and settled at Leyden, in Holland. Holland was much more to their strict religious taste, but after ten years, the Puritans began to seek a better freedom than a patch in a foreign land.
