It shows how a community of Dutch émigrés defined itself through its Calvinist faith, with the minister, congregation and chapel all playing central roles. Over the seventeenth century, the number of Dutch exiles and their descendants in Great Yarmouth dwindled, threatening the survival of their ministry and the community it sustained. It was the choice between separation from, or assimilation to, the English community that created a tension between the town's Dutch ministers, their congregation and the town's Puritan elite. The exceptional success of second- and third-generation Dutch migrants in maintaining their community for over a century before the congregation's dissolution can be attributed to Great Yarmouth's unique economic circumstances as the main port for Dutch herring fishermen and a complex religious settlement that pitted Calvinist Presbyterians and Independents against conformist Anglicans.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"110 390","pages":"244-260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They established communities in more than twenty towns including the borough of King's Lynn in west Norfolk. Exiles from Flanders and Holland began arriving in Lynn in 1567, and they soon established a Calvinist church community there. A 1571 census indicates that the exile community had more than 200 members, many of whom worked in the textile trade. In 1572, in the early months of the Dutch Revolt, the minister returned to the Low Countries. Thereafter, we have little information on the exile church in Lynn, although exiles did continue to produce textiles, which were sealed in Norwich. This article analyses the history of the exile community and church in Lynn. It addresses questions such as where the exiles came from, why they moved to Lynn and the practices and positions they adopted and networks they created. Furthermore, it explores the relationship between the exile communities in Lynn and Norwich. Several of the church leaders returned to the Low Countries. The article therefore explores their role in building the Reformed Church there. Finally, it challenges previous historiography on Calvinist exiles in Norfolk by suggesting that attention should be paid not only to the exile communities in Norwich but also to those in other Norfolk towns such as Lynn.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"110 390","pages":"194-214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows how Lynn's merchants adapted to the emergence of the new Dutch Republic and in particular to the growth of the entrepot of Amsterdam. Dutch shipmaster-merchants played a major part in the trade with their home ports, but a group of Lynn merchants were also highly significant in the wider picture, with two in particular being dominant. An angry official complaint made by one Dutch shipmaster triggered another less happy relationship between Lynn and the Low Countries and exposed a case of sexual assault by a senior member of the borough's political elite. As this scandal unfolded, it became clear that some members of the borough corporation were not just aware of what the scurrilous alderman had been doing but had previously been his victims. The attempts to remove him from his place on the corporation ultimately failed and, without a criminal prosecution, he seems to have got away more or less scot-free.</p>","PeriodicalId":13162,"journal":{"name":"History","volume":"110 390","pages":"173-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-229X.13448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
