The Huguenots, French Protestant refugees fleeing religious persecution in the late 16th and 17th centuries, brought significant contributions to England, particularly in trade, industry, and culture. They established industries such as silk weaving and lace-making, particularly in London and Norwich, which boosted the English economy. Additionally, their skilled craftsmanship and innovative techniques enriched English art and culture. The Huguenots also contributed to the religious diversity of England, promoting ideas of tolerance and freedom of worship.
