Summary[edit]
| Description | Delfshaven. Aelbrechtskolk The history of the Old or Pilgrim Fathers' Church goes back as far as 1417, when the Roman Catholic church of St. Anthony was consecrated on this site.The oldest known depiction of the church dates from 1512. In 1574 during the Reformation, the church came into Protestant hands and was altered to suit its new function. In 1608 a group of English religious dissenters fled to the Netherlands. They had left the Anglican church a few years before and had founded their own religious community. After living in Leiden for eleven years, they decided to become Pilgrims and cross the wide waters to America, where they might worship God in their own way and still be Englishmen. The great adventure started in Delfshaven, on July 21, 1620. There a ship awaited them, the Speedwell, that was bound for America. According to the chronicles the Pilgrim Fathers knelt down in prayer on the quay near the church. Much later, American visitors gave the church its third name: Pilgrim Fathers' Church. The most radical rebuilding took place in 1761. At this time the church was heightened considerably (3.6 metres) and was given its present facade with the bell-shaped gable. |
