EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the east end of the newly restored St. Bride's Church in London's Fleet Street stands proudly, showcasing a memorable tribute to the Pilgrim Fathers. Dated April 20, 1957, this image captures the intricate details of the church's interior, with a focus on the magnificent carved oak reredos that serves as a commemoration of the brave Pilgrims who embarked on the Mayflower voyage in 1620. The Pilgrim Fathers, a group of English Separatists seeking religious freedom, are an essential part of American history. Among them were notable figures such as Edward Winslow, who later became the governor of Plymouth Colony. This memorial, skillfully carved into the oak reredos, pays homage to their unwavering determination and the foundational impact they had on the New World. The interior of St. Bride's Church, with its high ceilings and ample natural light, creates an atmosphere of reverence and awe. The intricate carvings on the reredos are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time, and the Pilgrim Fathers' memorial stands out as a significant and poignant feature. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of both London and the United States, bringing together the stories of two nations and their shared heritage.
