Great Synagogue, Dukes Place

Categories: Religion

This was not actually the first synagogue built after the Jews returned to England in the 17th century, that was the synagogue at Creechurch Lane. The Duke's Place Great Synagogue was constructed in 1690 but as the congregation grew, larger and larger synagogues were built, the last in 1790, this surviving until destroyed in WW2.
