The site was in use from 1687 to 1854 and graves can still be observed today. * [[Canterbury Cathedral]] retains a Huguenot Chapel in the 'Black Prince's Chantry', part of the Crypt which is accessible from the exterior of the cathedral. The chapel was granted to Huguenot refugees on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I in 1575. To this day, the chapel still holds services in French every Sunday at 3 pm.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/whats-on/news/attraction/the-huguenot-chapel-black-princes-chantry/|title=The Huguenot Chapel (Black Prince's Chantry)|access-date=28 November 2018|language=en-US|archive-date=28 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181128164816/https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/whats-on/news/attraction/the-huguenot-chapel-black-princes-chantry/|url-status=dead}}</ref> * [[Strangers' Hall]] in [[Norwich]] got its name from the Protestant refugees from the Spanish Netherlands who settled in the city from the 16th century onwards and were referred to by the locals as the 'Strangers'.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.edp24.co.uk/features/new-book-looks-at-two-centuries-of-refugees-1-5567303|title=The Strangers who enriched Norwich and Norfolk life|access-date=21 December 2019|language=en-US}}</ref> The Strangers brought with them their pet canaries, and over the centuries the birds became synonymous with the city.
