First Parish Church in Plymouth

The Pilgrims who gathered first in Scrooby, then moved to the Netherlands, then they worshipped together in the Mayflower as they sailed in 1620. Their meetinghouse was the fort (depicted at Plimoth Plantation but originally located on Burial Hill), then moved down the hill to the current location. In 1801, the Trinitarians left in the split (identifying with the theological convictions of the Pilgrims, they named their church, The Church of the Pilgrimage), leaving the Unitarians in this building.

From the plaque outside:

The Church of Scrooby Leyden and the Mayflower
gathered on this hillside in 1620
has ever since preserved unbroken records
and maintained a continuous ministry.
Its first covenant being still the basis of its fellowship.
In reverent memory of its Pilgrim founders
