The Pilgrims .-- Of all the groups of Separatists scattered over England none became so famous as those who met at Elder Brewster's house at Scrooby.

King James decided to make all Puritans conform to the State Church or to hunt them out of the land.

The Scrooby people soon felt the weight of persecution.

After suffering great hardships and cruel treatment they fled away to Holland.

But there they found it very difficult to make a living.
