Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland
Description
The Huguenots were members of the French Protestant Church, many of whom, in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, left their homes in France to escape persecution. More than 50,000 of these refugees came to the British Isles and, in 1718, a French Hospital was founded in London. In 1885, the directors of the Hospital created a Society to promote the publication and interchange of knowledge about Huguenot history.
The Society supports academic research into Huguenot history and in 2022 launched an annual bursary of £1000 to support and encourage research among students in higher education into Huguenot individuals and communities.
