He was instrumental in telling their story.

the story of what happened to them before the Mayflower reached the shores of America, where they came from in England, their trials and tribulations, what happened to them when they went over to Holland, and some of the reasons why they decided in the end to make that journey, to make that massive leap and travel over on the Mayflower to America.

Yeah, that's one of the names that were given to the people at the time. So you're right there talking about the Church of England. So previously there'd been the Catholic Church. There was a big split under Henry VIII for lots of reasons. And I'm sure you've got an episode that covers that somewhere in the History Hit umbrella. Yes, indeed.

So in terms of what these people wanted, another name that's used at that time is Puritans. So they wanted to purify the church and the things that they saw were wrong with the church.

They wanted a direct relationship with God, particularly this group that we're talking about, the pilgrims.
