with speakers  Dean Irwin & Natasha Jenman

Between c.1150-1290, Lincoln was home to a sizeable Jewish community, eminent scholars and several prosperous individuals, and the lives they led are still visible in the surviving medieval street plan of Lincoln.
A new walking tour, designed by Natasha Jenman and Dean A. Irwin, has been created to explore the Jewish history of Medieval Lincoln. Generously funded by the Jewish Historical Society of England, this will be a permanent walking tour within the city, with a printed map available for those who wish to undertake the tour in a self-guided fashion. This talk will introduce the tour, and its contents to our members so that they might consider following the route themselves in the future.
