The religious buildings of the Jewish community in Britain have
never been explored in print. Lavishly illustrated with previously
unpublished images and photographs taken specially by English
Heritage, this book traces the architecture of the synagogue in
Britain and Ireland from its discreet Georgian- and Regency-era
beginnings to the golden age of the grand "cathedral synagogues" of
the High Victorian period. Sharman Kadish sheds light on obscure
and sometimes underappreciated architects who designed synagogues
for all types of worshipers--from Orthodox and Reform congregations
to Yiddish-speaking immigrants in the 1900s. She examines the
relationship between architectural style and minority identity in
British society and looks at design issues in the contemporary
synagogue. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in
British Art
