Gill Thomas - The London WelshGill, a professional genealogist and an experienced public speaker, is an ex-Chair of AGRA. she specialises in Welsh research but lives in London.
Welsh emigrants have been settling in London since the time of Henry Tudor (Henry VII). Known for dairies and cattle-keeping; as well as the 'weeders' sent to work in market gardens, the London Welsh have been a distinct cultural community for centuries. So much more than a rugby team, the story of the Welsh in London is reflected across London society through the ages.
