This Huguenot rabble are like vultures, feeding off the earth. They are not happy just to be safe here from the lands they fled. They insist on growing fat on what is our own land and grow rich at our expense. They rob us of our religion too.

An extract from a book by Dr Richard Welton, vicar of St Mary’s Church, writing about the Huguenots in 1718.

Source E

Yesterday, a mob of Spitalfields weavers assembled in front of the house of their master weaver, Mr. Lewis Chauvet. They broke all his windows, and destroyed his stock and furniture. A group of soldiers was sent to stop the rioters, and for a while afterwards an officer of the army very bravely defended the home of Mr Chauvet.

An extract from ‘The Town and Country Magazine’, December 1769. This was a gossip magazine that featured scandals involving members of London’s upper classes. Lewis Chauvet was a Huguenot master weaver. The soldiers were privately hired by Chauvet.
