SUMMARY:The Cosserats – Huguenot Refugees  - by Lynda Pidgeon
DESCRIPTION:Following religious persecution in France many Huguenot Protest
 ants fled to surrounding Protestant Countries. Many found their way to Dev
 on\, particularly Exeter\, where immigrants could obtain work in the texti
 le industry. In the late 17th and 18th centuries the immigrant Huguenot
 ’s in the city used St Olave’s church as their place of worship.\nOne 
 of these immigrants was called Cosserat\, he lived in the priory in the la
 te eighteenth-century. The National Archive holds a number of wills for me
 mbers of the Cosserat family which were proved during the years 1750 to 18
 25. These wills\, along with other surviving documents have been used to t
 ry and trace the family who first arrived as refugees at the end of the se
 venteenth century\, and to trace their lives\, their friends and their ass
 ociates.\n\nTicket price includes complimentary drinks and refreshments.\n
 \nDoors open at 6pm for 6:30 start.\n\nDirections\nSt Nicholas Priory is o
 n Mint Lane with walking access from Fore Street or Bartholomew Street Wes
 t.\n\nThe nearest car park is Mary Arches Street\, which is a five-minute
