Mayflower General History Articles

London has more links to the Mayflower than any other tourist destination in Britain.  The Mayflower sailed from London, master Christopher Jones and his crew lived and were recruited in London.  Pilgrims were imprisoned and executed for following their faith in London.  Above all and key to the whole story, it was the Merchant Adventurers in the City of London who supplied the finance and the organisation for the expedition. 

We hope to gather articles about Mayflower connections with London, written by Mayflower experts and enthusiasts and provide a platform to share their information.
