Walking the York Jewish History Trail

Jews in Europe have had a rough history. They lived in England up until 1290, when King Edward I banished all of them from his shores. Even when they were living in England there were only certain towns where they were allowed to live in. London was one. York was another. You can take your own tour on a series of youtube videos, narrated by archaeologist John Oxley. Stop #1 Stop #2 Stop #3 Stop #4 Stop #5 Stop #6

And if you'd like to read my take on the medieval Jews in England, then you need to get yourself a copy of The Demon's Parchment.
