Christopher means ‘Christ-Bearer’. Both men were raised in Harwich and attended St Nicholas Church, Harwich. Available parish records depict their family history. These were two extraordinary Christian hero pioneers. Visit their church and hear how the origins of American civilisation poured forth from the 11th Century family baptismal font.
