I just found out that Austerfield Manor, likely the childhood home of William Bradford, is for sale. This has the benefit of giving us some nice pictures of what the home looks like today, some of which you can find below. Whether this actually was Bradford’s home would be worthy of another post. Suffice it to say that the case isn’t bulletproof, and it was first called Bradford’s house in the late 19th century. For more details see Governor William Bradford of Austerfield by Sue Allan, p. 42-46.
