		About a quarter of a mile from the manor at Scrooby is the parish church of St. Wilfrid, a late medieval building with a choir (chancel), a nave and one aisle (south), a porch, and a tower with a spire.
		In contrast, William Pontus was a churchwarden at Mattersey (bordering Scrooby on the east and Lound on the south).
		Marchant may be correct to think that the Puritans and Separatists in the Scrooby area were treated rather leniently, but that assessment seems to be the product of too much detachment and of a lack of sympathy for the urgency with which the persecuted held their vision of God's plan for salvation.

		The Scrooby font, the baptismal font which stands in the front of the sanctuary at Wellington, dates back to the 14th century and was used in the village church in Scrooby, England.
		The font is significant historically becasue William Brewster, later called "the chief of the Pilgrims," was a resident of Scrooby in the early 1570s and from 1588 until 1607.
		The Scrooby font was saved from the fire and the Wellington Avenue Congregational Church was asked to be its custodian in order that "it may be conserved and used to the glory of God." The font was formally given to Wellington Church on February 25, 1942.

	CONFORMISTS--PURITANS--SEPARATISTS
		The oppression of the Separatists was successfully continued until in 1603 upon the accession of James I. In the whole kingdom there appears to have been but one Separatist church, that at Gainsborough, in charge of a pastor, John Smyth.
		At Scrooby lived William Brewster, afterwards the famous Elder Brewster of Plymouth Colony, and at Austerfield, a neighboring Yorkshire village, resided William Bradford, the historian and future Governor of Plymouth Colony.
		As junior pastor came John Robinson, a graduate of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, formerly a clergyman in the established church near Norwich--a learned, liberal, cultivated man. In 1607 the determination was formed to escape further persecution by flight to Holland.

		My Father had sent some "segs" to put at the heels and toes of my shoes (segs are metal studs that preserved the life of the shoes by protecting the toes and heels) I remember these clanking over the stone floor of the church.
		The village we were evacuated to was Scrooby in Nottinghamshire and as every "red blooded" American knows it is where the Pilgrim Fathers started from.
		I have been back to the village on two occasions but my children have never seen Scrooby, which is a pity for apart from my history it is full of the history of a life and times so different from today.

	Doug's Blog: The 400th Anniversary of the Scrooby Covenant
		On that day, a group of separatists including William Bradford, William Brewster, John Robinson, and Richard Clifton covenanted before God and man to live honorably before the Lord in a local body committed to the purity of the doctrines of the Christian faith, notwithstanding great persecution and disapproval by the state church.
		Though less than two paragraphs in length, this church covenant would be used of God to bind the hearts and lives of the members of this little assembly, and to propel them to travel across the Atlantic Ocean on a boat called the Mayflower.
		As Dr. Gary Marks [30th pastor in direct succession from John Robinson] has observed, the Scrooby church covenant would serve as the basis for the Mayflower Compact, one of the most significant documents of freedom in the history of Western Civilization.

		Scrooby is only a sleepy little village, but for American historians this is the place where some of the guiding principles of the US political and judicial system hail from.
		All this can be traced back to the way the Pilgrims and other early settlers governed themselves -- and to the "compact" they sealed on board the Mayflower, laying down the rules of their "body politick".
		And so, 377 years later, Chuck Turley and his fellow researchers are walking through villages like Austerfield, Babworth, Gainsborough and Scrooby, looking for what is left of the rebels who had to flee Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

	Adams, Founding of New England. Ch. V
		When Davison fell from power, Brewster’s career at court was ended, and at the time of the formation of the church in Scrooby, he had, for some years, been occupying the position of postmaster there, living in the old manor-house which had attracted the covetous eyes of James the First.
		Scrooby was a halting place on the great northern post-road, and the duties of “postmaster” were more varied and important then than now.
		It is true that the Scrooby leaven, in the persons of Brewster and Bradford, and the influence of Robinson, leavened the whole Plymothean mass; but, if we had the documents, which we have not, it would be instructive to hear the story from the standpoint of the Londoners, both capitalists and colonists.

		He did not live in a little house on a side street, but had a grand mansion called Scrooby Manor with a large brick stable and his duty was to supply horses to all travelers who desired to hire them.
		He was appointed by the government and had what 300 years ago was considered a handsome salary, namely 2 shillings a day, besides what travelers used to pay him if they stayed for a night or so at Scrooby Manor on their journey.
