Overview

Some 120 colonists left Plymouth in August 1620 in the Mayflower to settle in the new world. They originated from North Nottinghamshire and settled in the village of Patuxent which they renamed Plymouth. Join us on the walk to celebrate the occasion. Note We are incredibly pleased to welcome Sheila Bamford DH Lawrence Society, invited to highlight DH Lawrence theme.
