Life in the UK Test 21
During the Middle Ages, England was an important trading nation and people came to England from abroad to trade and also to work. Where did the weavers come from?
Correct Answer: France
During the Middle Ages, skilled weavers who came to England from abroad came from Holland (the Netherlands).
Holland (the Netherlands) was one of the great centres of textile production in medieval Europe. Dutch weavers brought advanced weaving techniques to England, helping develop the English wool and cloth trade.
