Tips from the Community
Information board here tells final story of the pilgrims in England: Escape from the Riverside When the barge arrived near immingham, there were around 80 people on board. They carried with them bedding, small chests and trunks. On 12 May 1608 the Dutch ship arrived, and the men began boarding. To their alarm, an armed troop was spotted approaching them on the shoreline. The Dutch captain decided to sail away rather than face arrest, leaving mostly women and children behind.

Immingham's monument to the Pilgrims has an interesting history. It was moved in 1970 from its original home on the coast at Immingham Creek into the town after the development of the commercial dock. It was re-dedicated in 2008, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims' flight from England to Holland.

Immingham's church is over 800 years old. One of Immingham's most important historic buildings, the church has features from the medieval period onwards. Much of its structure dates to the 13th century with parts of the nave as early as the 11th century. The tower was constructed in the 16th/17th century similar to designs in neighbouring villages. It was restored in the 1880s and again in 1920. The remains of a stone cross outside the church dates to the medieval period. In 1608, Immingham was a hamlet, with around 50 households. The church would have been the centre of the village. Immingham was a very small settlement for hundreds of years before developing into a town in the 1900s.
