The term refugees was first used to describe the 50,000 Protestants who fled to England from France in the 16th-18th centuries. The miscellany of related records in Lambeth Palace Library sheds light on the experiences of Huguenots in England, as well as attempts to secure the release of those condemned to the French galleys.

Philippa Tudor completed her doctorate in the literature of the early Reformation in England and is now a volunteer cataloguer and friend of LPL, working on a finding aid to its Huguenot-related resources.
