PILGRIM FATHER CHURCH
Senator Freyling-Huysen is collecting money in the United States for the renovation of Scrooby Church, near Sheffield, so that Americans may be able to visit the church of William Brewster, the Yorkshire Pilgrim Father. and be proud of it. More than £4OO has already been sent to the vicar from America.
The original 12th century font of the Church is in the possession of a Chicago Church, and repeated attempts have been made by Scrooby parishioners to recover it. Hundreds of Americans visit the Church each year, nnd many ornaments and other articles from inside the Church have gone across the Atlantic.
“We repeatedly receive sums from all over the United States,” the Vicar told me. “They come from Glen Ridge and New Jersey particularly, where Mrs. Frank Talbot is raising an appeal amongst Congrogationalists. We still need another £3OO to complete the work.”
