- In the 16th century many of the Huguenots began migrating to Britain to avoid persecution.

Common misconception
Huguenots were a separate Protestant denomination from other Protestants in Euope.
Huguenots were Calvinist Protestants, which was a very common form of Protestantism. The term 'Huguenot' merely means they were Protestants from France.
