Christopher

This statue is in St Mary's churchyard, Rotherhithe.

It's St Christopher by Jamie Sergeant, the inscription at the bottom reads;

To the memory of Christopher Jones 1570 - 1622 Master of the Mayflower.
He landed 102 planters and adventurers at Plymouth Massachusetts 21 Dec 1620.
They formed the Mayflower Compact the first permanent colony in New England.


It was unveiled in 1995. Unfortunatley vandals have given him a bit of a nose job.
