by Professor D. L. Savory, M.P. a Vice-President of the Huguenot Society

In 1550 French and Dutch Protestants living in Britain were granted a Royal Charter by Edward VI. They had fled from religious persecution on the Continent and had found refuge here. The Charter gave to the French Protestant Church in London the right to hold services and allow its members to worship God in their own way. The path of religious tolerance has not been entirely smooth since that day, but there is no doubt that this Royal Charter was an act of importance at a very early date. French and Dutch Protestants have been celebrating, the four-hundredth anniversary of this occasion and Professor Savory, himself a descendant of an ancient Huguenot family from Montpellier, explains its importance.
