Howland’s Plaque, Church of St Peter and St Paul (Fenstanston, 1966)

John Howland was the Pilgrim passenger best known for having fallen off the ship halfway across the Atlantic! He was baptised in the Church of St Peter and St Paul (dating from the 13^th to 15^th centuries).

In 1966, the Pilgrim John Howland Society erected a plaque in memory of their namesake and his father, who is buried in the churchyard. In 1982, the Society also donated a bell – ‘the John Howland’.
