The Pursgloves of Scrooby - [SCRO]


On the River Ryton, this village was situated on the Great North Road and was a staging point for travellers.  The Manor was owned by the Archbishop of York, with strong ties to the crown.

The parish church is dedicated to St Wilfrid and it dates from the medieval period.  This village has strong associations with the Pilgrim Fathers and the Migration to the Americas.
