John Lathrop House

John Lathrop, the second pastor of London’s J-L-J Church, immigrated to Barnstable, where his house, built in 1644, still stands as part of the Sturgis Library, at 3090 Main Street. Here, one can stand in the room that once served as Lathrop’s meetinghouse. On display is Lathrop’s copy of the Scriptures – a 1605 Bishops’ Bible. See the section, “John Lathrop (1584-1653),” in chapter five.
