Sugar Bakers Lutherans Germans of Whitechapel (not Huguenots)

The Huguenots of Spitalfields have had a consistent lobby for many years championing the historic significance of that community and area. However the German community lived the other side of Whitechapel High Street, on the same side as St Mary's (the white chapel). Unlike the huguenot community, the German Catholic and Lutheran faith communities still operate churches, even though they have long dispersed throughout London and Beyond. The Germans played a particular role in "Sugar Baking" (making sugar). An exhibition and events at the Lutheran Church will highlight their role in local landscape character
