John de Busli, gave the whole village of Austerfield for the
support of a chaplain to pray, and to celebrate, in the house at London, masses for the soul of Robert de Vipont. In the reign of Henry II. John de Busli (1154-1189) built the new chapel at
Austerfield, attaching it, as well as the chapel at Bawtry, to the convent at Blyth. The edifice was thus
originally a "chantry," erected for the benefit of a "soul in purgatory." It is still standing and is called the
Chapel of St. Helen. It was in this little house of worship, with its quaint port and double arched entrance
carved with the Norsemen's symbols of the lightning's zigzag, raven's beak ornament, and a rude sort of
dragon such as Saint George may have slain, that William Bradford was baptized March 19, 1590. Within
the building some alterations, including new pews, have been made, but the outside of it was much the same
as in Pilgrim days, until 1897, when a process of restoration began.
