"An entrancing read, illuminating how life in Britain has been influenced and enhanced by those who arrived, often with nothing except their skills." -Babs Horton, author of Winter Swallows
Seeking Sanctuaryexplores the history of people looking for refuge in Great Britain. It starts with those Protestant refugees fleeing oppression and persecution from Catholic Spain who ruled the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. It traces successive waves of peoples in the context of why they fled. At various times this was due to religious persecution, political upheaval, war and ethnic cleansing.
"The author writes from the perspective of her work with asylum seekers, which evidently generated her interest in Britain's history as a refuge. Jane Marchese Robinson's passion for displaced persons is apparent in her examples and case studies, and for anyone with an interest in, or connection with, the selected groups of refugees over the past 100 years, it will make interesting reading... The author demonstrates compassion for, and empathy with, the groups she examines, and many will find this the compelling aspect of the book." -Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives
"This is a wide-ranging book which explores these major refugee movements in depth and it is often emotional in its details." -Bristol and Avon Family History Society

Autoren-Porträt von Marchese Robinson Jane Marchese Robinson
After graduating from Birmingham University in Economic and Social History Jane spent some 30 years as an advocate for marginalised groups including the homeless, people with disabilities and mental health problems and latterly refugees. She had always loved writing but it wasn't until 2010, when she finished working full time, that she could become fully committed and undertook the MA in Creative Writing at Plymouth University. An historical novel set at the time of the Boer War ensued. On discussion with Pen and Sword this became the basis for an historically researched book "Tracing Your Boer War Ancestors: Soldiers of a Forgotten War". The book was published in 2016 and kindled interest in a subject which had been much overlooked.The present book "Seeking Sanctuary, a History of Refugees in Britain" has been inspired by the work Jane undertook with refugees and asylum seekers in Plymouth as well as a personal discovery. It was only after her mother's death in 2004 that she delved into her grandmother's history and found that she had been one of the 250,000 Belgian refugees who fled here when the German army over ran their country in 1914. Uncovering her grandmother's history meant learning about the fascinating story of those thousands of refugees who sought sanctuary here in the First World War.
