From The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland:

London’s Huguenot Heritage: A Colloquium in Honour of Robin Gwynn
Orange Street Congregational Church, London, 6 October 2012

Robin Gwynn is one of the most prolific and capable historians of the Huguenots in England, dealing (among other things) with patterns of migration, the nature of the Huguenot community, and the relationship between the Huguenots and their fellow citizens.  He has also sought to integrate the findings of his detailed research into a coherent overall picture, and to highlight the contribution of the refugees to English life, which (he has suggested) has traditionally been underestimated. Much of Dr Gwynn’s work has been on Huguenots in London, which makes London’s Huguenot Heritage an appropriate title for a conference to celebrate his achievements.

The conference takes place on Saturday, 6 October 2012, starting at 10:00am at the Orange Street Congregational Church, the site of the former Leicester Fields French Church (Orange Street, London WC2H 7HR). For details and a booking form click here»
