The Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of 1066 are basic English history lessons. But few are aware of the irregular and uncharted arrival of the French Huguenots (French-speaking Calvinists) in Kent during the Tudor, Stuart and Hanoverian times. It was a peaceful and large-scale immigration that took place over a long period of history in uncertain conditions.
T.E.C.(P.I.C. now) is aiming to be ‘A Beacon for England and to the World’ – 16th/17th century reference to Puritans and Pilgrims in Essex, Cambridge, and East Anglia the first.
