Mullins House/Coffee Shop (2018)
Mullins Coffee Shop, 58 West Street, Surrey, RH4 1BS
Mullins House takes its name from former Dorking resident, William Mullins, a local shoemaker and Pilgrim Father, who traveled to America on the Mayflower in 1620. The building dates from between 1568 and 1610 and is the only example of a Pilgrim Father’s home still in existence. You will be able to read more about Mullin's journey to the New World printed on canvas hanged on the original wall.
For the 'Extraordinary Women' theme we will celebrate the life of Priscilla Mullins. It is most likely she was born in Dorking in Surrey, the daughter of William and Alice Mullins. She was just eighteen when she boarded the Mayflower. John Alden and Priscilla Mullins were probably the third couple to be married in Plymouth Colony. Priscilla is last found in the records in 1650, but oral tradition states that she died only a few years before her husband (which would be about 1680). She lies buried at the Miles Standish Burial Ground in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The exact location of her grave is unknown, but there is a marker honouring her.
