Scrooby
England

The site of the medieval manor house was set in an enclosed area of about six and a half acres within a moat. Around 1636-7 most of the manor house and its outbuildings were demolished following a demolition order granted by Charles I. Around 1750 part of one wing of the manor house was renovated as a farmhouse for the Archbishop's tenant. It is that building which can be seen today. The Pilgrim Fathers, William Brewster (1566-1643) Scrooby holds a pivotal place in the history of the USA, being the birthplace of William Brewster, elder of the Pilgrim Fathers. In 1588 William Brewster Senior held the office of Bailiff of the Archbishop of York
