@MayflowrLondon @400Tours @dutchchurch In the @dutchchurch you can still find the wine jar and the plate, the pilgrim fathers used when they celebrated the Lord's Supper in our church. In the library you can still find books that were present at the time. The merchant Thomas Weston contributed to the library as well.
