The History and Contribution of the Huguenots in Britain
This is a major study of the Huguenots, the first to be published since Smyle's classic in 1867.
It examines all aspects of the Huguenot refugees in Britain; who they were, why they crossed the Channel, how many of them came, where they went when they reached Britain, the reception they encountered, and their assimilation and enduring institutions.
The Huguenots were active on a wide front: in arts, crafts and sciences, in fashion, in gardening and horticulture, in insurance and banking, in the developing of silk, textile, paper and glassware industries.
They were influential in almost all spheres of 19th century Britain.
