Just published: 'Transatlantic Tercentenaries, Higher Education & Local Pasts in Britain after the First World War' by Martha Vandrei - which uses as case studies the anniversaries of Sir Walter Raleigh's death (1918) & the Mayflower's sailing (1920).
In 1628, a party of Pilgrims, led by Captain Myles Standish, stormed Thomas Morton’s rival colony of Merrymount and cut down the ‘pagan’ Maypole… so I’m not sure what they’d think of Morris dancing to commemorate the Mayflower! 😉 – at Belfast, Northern Ireland
Plymouth Morris are busily preparing to host a 'Mayflower Morris Muster' as part of the #Mayflower400 commemorations.
The event on Saturday 4 September will culminate in a mass display of Morris Dancing on The Piazza at 4pm.

One of the Pilgrims carries a flag emblazoned with ‘Freedom of Worship’. This mural shows this how Victorian ideas about the British spirit were engrained in both past and present, and could derive from nonconformity - or which the Mayflower was a powerful symbol. – at City of London, London
