The plan to save Nottinghamshire's Pilgrim manor

A historian from across the Atlantic is trying to raise money to save a 12-acre site in Nottinghamshire. Scrooby Manor was originally a grand medieval palace for the Archbishops of York and became famous as the home of William Brewster. He hosted Separatist meetings there in the early 1600s that lead to the formation of the church that would later sail on the Mayflower.

Now, the manor is up for sale as the current owners are moving to New Zealand. American Historian Jacqueline LaMar wants to preserve the site and prevent it from being redeveloped.

The owner of Scrooby Manor Julie Dunstan joined Summaya to tell her more about the plan.
