Here is a film from the Norfolk Record Office about the refugees that have come to Norwich over the centuries. Although it is a narration to a walk, I hope you will enjoy the historic information. So what refugees came to Norwich and why did they leave their native country? There are references to letters sent home by the refugees which are an insight into their impressions of the inhabitants of Norwich. There is a story about a merchant that stole £300 but came to a sticky end. There are also stories of refugees escaping from the Spanish Civil War and from the Nazis. To find out more, please select the following link and press play, you may need to move the red bar back to the start, and you can always give the film a thumbs up:
