The Jews Of South West England

This is a study of the Jews and Jewish communities of devon and Cornwal. It traces Jewish contacts in Biblical and Roman times; the well-documented Medieval Jewry of Exeter; and the vestiges of Jewish life in the wake of expulsion - in particular with regard to mining. The book then goes on to provide a detailed study of the demography, economic activity and cultural, social and religious life of South-West Jewry between 1730-1990.
