U of York just finished this huge project called England’s Immigrants (first result from a search) that archives tens of thousands of immigrants who were subject to immigrant taxes or submitted denization forms from 1330 to 1550.

And this list isn’t even close to exhaustive, they say.
THIS IS SO COOL
