  • The Hidden Legacy Foundation -- Jewish Heritage Survey
    • After the preliminary survey of Wales, which was reported in the last issue of the Newsletter, a similar survey of Scotland, covering synagogues and cemeteries in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness was undertaken by Dr Helen Fry and Evelyn Friedlander. Synagogues in Leeds, Liverpool and London's East End were also visited.

    Update for 2000

  • Synagogues of the Southwest of England
    • Two of the oldest synagogues in England are located in the Southwest. The Plymouth synagogue was built in 1761 and the Exter synagogue followed two years later.  Both buildings have been renovated and house congregations that provide websites with infromation about the communities and their historical buildings:
    Exeter Hebrew Congregation web site includes a tour of the building and information for visitors.

    Plymouth Synagogue site includes community history and information.

  • Survey of the Jewish Built Heritage in the United Kingdom & Ireland
    • The Jewish Built Heritage in the UK & Ireland is the first comprehensive survey of Jewish monuments and sites ever undertaken in Britain. It has been made possible through a substantial grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The HLF was one of several funds set up by the British Government to distribute money which is raised by the National Lottery, created in 1994. The support which the Survey has already received from official sources demonstrates that the so-called 'cultural industries' in Britain have embraced the reality of a multi-cultural society. The Jewish cultural heritage has finally achieved recognition as an integral part of Britain's national heritage.
