Jews In Norwich

Here is an article about our Jewish heritage.   So when and why did the Jews come to Norwich?  Where did they live and why were they protected by the Sheriff and the King?  When were they expelled from England and who encouraged them to come back?  If you read on further you will learn of the wonderful work by the Norfolk and Norwich Committee for Refugees before the start of World War Two and the refugee children they saved.  To find out the answers to these questions and more information please select the following link:
