Built in 1507, it takes its name from the Flemish and Hugenot Weavers who fled from France to escape religous persecution in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The house stands on the River Stour which is somewhat not in view at the end of the building. The Flemish refugees were welcomed by Elizabeth I who gave them the right to trade in Canterbury. She also offered them a special place of worship in the Cathedral, and a Hugenot chapel is still there today.
