St Wilfrid's Church, Scrooby is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England[1] in Scrooby.
The church was built in the 15th century and was restored in 1864 after many years of disrepair.[2][3]
Scrooby harboured a Separatist Puritan group, 1606–8, which fled to Holland in 1608 and then in 1620 sailed to America in the Mayflower. William Brewster, one of the Pilgrim Fathers and a ruling elder, worshipped in Scrooby Church.
It contains an organ dating from 1871 by Gray and Davison.
