A few weeks ago I wrote an article about this place. It is called The Weavers and it was built in the 16th Century when the Huguenots and Wallons started migrating to England escaping from religious prosecution in France and other parts of Europe and a few of them settled in Canterbury. They were skilled weavers and this is the place where where many of them concentrated hence the name The Weaver's House. As they prospered they become important citizens in Canterbury and a couple of them became Councillors. Today it is a restaurant and quite a good one!
