Q

FHow is this migration similar to others like in the middle ages

A

Both got permission from Elizabeth I’s
council to invite skilled migrants : Sandwich
– Flemish; Canterbury,a little later,
Walloons.

Like Henry III & Edward III in Medieval
England, skilled cloth weavers were
encouraged to settle.

So religion, government invitation and
economics drove migration to Sandwich &
Canterbury.
