I agree with John. I would hope some funding might be available. I went on one of their ‘virtual’ walks during lockdown and it was truly fascinating. I had forgotten – or perhaps hadnt known that you found an ancestor was buried in Spitalfields Church. One day we must all make a visit. I would be interested to hear how you found them.

On the up-side, that is a beautiful photo, Jo – and I love the image of you “flitting about in Spitalfields”! And all that you have gleaned in your note-taking will bear fruit here, and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Yes, such a magnificent organisation.

I’ll try to find out what the issue is – I imagine the sheer amount of work that went into all the event organising, as well as maintaining the website and everything associated with it. Just to clarify, the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland is still going strong, and will continue with its own programmes of events and publications (as far as I know!) Thanks for your suggestion, John – I’ll pass it on.

Is there really no way to keep the show on the road? The Huguenot heritage is of great interest to so many of us, not only those with a Huguenot heritage of their own. Is funding the issue or just no longer enough people to keep the society functioning? Surely if it is money the City of London might help..
