Great Synagogue - Old Jewry

Categories: Religion

Building

We could find nothing on the history of this Great Synagogue but its closure in 1272 was due to the difficulties suffered by the Jews in England leading up to their expulsion in 1290. Medieval London gives a good, brief, introduction to the presence of Jews in London at this time and their subsequent expulsion.
