A tour of the Mayflower Trail taking in the sites at Babworth,Scrooby Church and Manor, Austerfield and the magnificant Gainsborough Old Hall can be comfortably undertaken within one day.

However to visit Boston and the Guildhall, with the Pilgrim Fathers Memorials at Fishtoft and Immingham would require a second full day.

Both of these tours are impossible to do by public transport and so car or coach travel is essential.

Also many of the stops along the trail are only opened up to the public by appointment.

Steps along the Mayflower Trail is not intended to be a book about the Mayflower Pilgrims - or Separatists, as they were known before their voyage to America.

Instead, this book has been written as a reference companion for those who are already familiar with the Separatist's saga- but who are perhaps not so familiar with the places that feature in it.

Steps along the Mayflower Trail sets out to illuminate those villages, towns and buildings in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, that played major roles in their odyssey. These are the places that many of the Separatists would have once known as home.

A part of the proceeds of this book goes to the Pilgrim churches of Scrooby, Babworth and Austerfield.
