Meek, ''The Synagogue'', Phaidon, 1995, p. 184 History Community The earliest record of a Jewish community in Canterbury dates from 1160. The community is known to have been prosperous and to have traded in corn (grain) and wool as well as banking. Despite pogroms in 1261 and 1264, the community flourished until the Edict of Expulsion, given by Edward I of England in 1290. Its presence is commemorated in the street name, Jewry Lane. A modern Jewish Community is known to have existed in Canterbury by 1720.

The cornerstone was laid by Sir Moses Montefiore in September 1847. A pair of columns with lotus capitals flank the doorway o ...

Old Synagogue (Essen)
The Old Synagogue (german: Alte Synagoge) in Essen is one of the largest, best preserved and architecturally most impressive testimonies to Jewish culture in pre-war Germany. Built in the centre of the city, the Byzantine style former Synagogue was originally consecrated as the ''Neue Synagoge'' in 1913; it now houses an institution dedicated to documenting and promoting the history of the city's former Jewish community. After being severely damaged during Kristallnacht in 1938, but fortunately avoiding further damage from bombing during WWII, the burnt out interior was first completely redesigned to become a Museum of Industrial design in 1960. With greater interest in historic preservation, it underwent a second restoration in the 1980s to its original design; in preparation for its new use as a memorial centre and museum. The attached ''Rabbinerhaus'' (House of the Rabbi) has housed the Salomon Ludwig Steinheim Institute since 2011. History of the building With a rising n ...

Old Synagogue (Kraków)
The Old Synagogue ( pl, Synagoga Stara) was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue situated in the Kazimierz district of Kraków, Poland. In Yiddish it was referred to as the ''Alta Shul''. It is the oldest synagogue building still standing in Poland, and one of the most precious landmarks of Jewish architecture in Europe. Until the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, it was one of the city's most important synagogues as well as the main religious, social, and organizational centre of the Kraków Jewish community. The Synagogue was built in 1407 or 1492; the date of building varies with several sources. The original building was rebuilt in 1570, by the Italian architect Mateo Gucci. The rebuilding included the attic wall with loopholes, windows placed far above ground level, and thick, masonry walls with heavy buttressing to withstand siege, all features borrowed from military architecture.Ismail Serageldin, Ephim Shluger, Joan Martin-Brown, ''Historic Cities and Sacred Sites: Cul ...

It was burned down in 1939 when the Germans were retreating from the eastern bank of the San River and the ruins were destroyed by the Nazis in 1941.
