The Strangers of Norwich
Hoyte, Helen. The Strangers of Norwich. 2017. Red Herring Publishing.
C&TA founder Helen Hoyte's most recent book, The Strangers of Norwich.
On sale from the C&TA, priced £10 with £3 postage and packing
From the start of the 16th century Tudor fashions were changing. Luxurious foreign fabrics were affecting the popularity of traditional English worsted. To rescue the city's fortunes, Queen Elizabeth issued Letters Patent to allow thirty Dutch and Walloon cloth workers to bring their skills to Norwich. The people of Norwich largely welcomed the Strangers, as there was sympathy for their plight as religious refugees. This charmingly illustrated book tells in glorious detail the story of the Strangers and how they revitalised the Norwich textile trade enabling a golden age of prosperity which lasted for 200 years.
To order the book, email your address to celiasutton53@gmail.com, and you'll be given details of how to pay.

Many Hands Make a Quilt: Short Histories of Radical Quilting Bailey, Jess. Common Threads Press online. 2021. Published by Laura Moseley with the help of a grant from the Costume and Textile Association. This small book surveys ten quilts that have been made by communities for the purposes of enacting social change. All proceeds go towards amplifying feminist, queer, and intersectional histories of art. “When we grant quilts authority, we expand our conception of who can tell meaningful stories and how these stories are preserved. We shift our expectations of history’s protagonists. We discard our attachment to placing individual heroes on pedestals and look instead for history’s collective carers: the artists who showed up to the fight bringing useful resources for the long struggle ahead.” |
