The Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, Henlow, dates back to the twelfth century, but the current building dates mostly from the fifteenth century. The church is mostly in Perpendicular Gothic style with a three-stage tower added in the fifteenth century. The church and the village of Henlow have a connection with the ship Mayflower and some of its passengers. A memorial plaque affixed to an interior wall of the church was erected by the Pilgrim John Howland Society in 1989 commemorating John Tilley; his wife, Joan (Hurst) Tilley; and their daughter, Elizabeth, all three of whom were baptized at Henlow and travelled on the Mayflower on its historic 1620 voyage to the New World. The churchyard is behind the Church of St. Mary The Virgin on Church Road in Henlow, Bedfordshire, England, alongside the river Ivel.
