Terms of Service
At the southern tip of the old centre of Amsterdam stood the military hospital, where English chaplains in the 1570s ministered to the English troops who fought for the Dutch in the Eighty Years War against Spain and its allies. Windows in the church building now mark the memory of that contribution.
The first actual congregation used a building over a foul-smelling ditch in the heart of the city. Next, we appear in 1771, in a room of the Drapers’ Guild. A little while earlier, Rembrandt had painted in that room a portrait of the guild, assessing the quality of cloth leaving Amsterdam. We wish he’d left it behind!
