The Huguenots in Later Stuart Britain: Settlement, Churches, and the Role of London

Volume two of a three volume set, The Huguenots in Later Stuart Britain examines the history of the French communities in Britain from the Civil War to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, after which there was no realistic possibility that the Huguenots would be readmitted to France. There is a particular focus on the decades of the 1680s and 1690s, at once the most complex and the most challenging for the refugees themselves and for subsequent historians. This volume explains when refugees fled France, and what drove them to settle in some regions of Britain but not others. Included appendices analyze the French churches in England between 1640 and 1713.
