Jews House, Lincoln.  by carole_sandford

Jews House, Lincoln.

The Jews house is one of the earliest extant town houses in England, estimated to have been built around 1170. The house has traditionally been associated with the thriving Jewish community of medieval Lincoln. In 1290 the entire Jewish community was expelled from England by Edward I, and the Jew’s house was said to have been seized from a Jewish owner. The house has been continuously occupied until present day. It has been used as a restaurant since about 1973.
Phil & I went here this evening for a meal for our anniversary. Beautiful food, we can highly recommend! We have eaten here before but not for a long time. There was quite a bad fire in 2009 & it was out of action for around 18 months. Definitely a place for a special celebration.
Really interesting background to this place.
