Babworth parish church, All Saints, is quintessentially English and is surrounded by greenery. The church is about 900 years old. It is a small structure with a tower steeple with three old bells (to which were added three newly cast bells in the late 1950s) and a clock, a nave, chancel and a porch. Babworth is well known for its connection with the Pilgrim Fathers - the early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts, USA. Richard Clyfton was parson here between 1586 and 1605. Two of his friends were William Brewster and William Bradford, both passengers aboard The Mayflower." (Wikipedia).
