Pilgrim Fathers Church

After living in Leiden for eleven years, they decided to become Pilgrims and cross to America, where they might worship God in their own way and still be Englishmen.

At this time the church was heightened considerably (3.6 metres (12 ft)) and was given its present facade with the bell-shaped gable.

In the nineteenth century the building with the text Eben-Haëzer ('helping stone') in its gable, was erected behind the church.

Commemorative panels, bearing the names of the vicars who served the community from 1574 adorn the otherwise bare walls.

As usual in Dutch Protestant churches, the pulpit stands within a rectangular enclosure.
