2006 marks the 350th Anniversary of the Resettlement of the Jewish community in England. In 1656 Jews returned to England after an absence of nearly 400 years, since the medieval expulsion under Edward I in 1290. Jews from Amsterdam came back in the wake of Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel's petition to Oliver Cromwell, during the brief period when England was a republic. The Jewish community has enjoyed a history of continuous settlement in England since 1656, a record unmatched anywhere else in Europe. Today, Anglo-Jewry, a small community that has never numbered more than about 450,000 people, is the oldest non-Christian minority in Britain. For the first time, Jewish Heritage in England celebrates in full colour the undiscovered heritage of Anglo-Jewry. It is the first comprehensive guide to historic synagogues and sites in the country dating from before the Second World War, based on the authoritative Survey of the Jewish Built Heritage carried out with the support of English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Heritage trails around former Jewish quarters of the major cities are featured plus an appendix covering Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. This guidebook will undoubtedly appeal both to the specialist and the tourist alike.
