The 13th century limestone church with its tall early 15th century tower and steeple is Scrooby's most noteworthy building. It was this church that one of the leading "pilgrim fathers" - William Brewster turned his back on ahead of his famous voyage on "The Mayflower" to New England, USA in the autumn of 1620. Brewster is buried in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. The gravestone to the left is that of Henry and Hannah Burtwistle who died in 1903 and 1909 respectively: "Not our will, but thine O Lord".
