I've been googling fo hours trying to come up with an answer as to why there was such a conclave of Brits in Bruges in the first quarter/half of the 19th Century.

I found some names on Google Books in -

The Topographer and Genealogist by John Gough Nichols 1853

Page 137
Sepulchral memorials of the English at Bruges
In the church of the Austin Nuns

Lady Margaret Augusta Dillon widow of Luke Dillon and her son Henry Luke Dillon are both buried there but as to why?????????

Any help would be appreciated.
