Description
Join one of Winchester’s professional guides for a 90 minute walking tour, starting at Winchester Visitor Information Centre. Discover the fascinating story of Medieval Jewish Winchester on this guided walk. From the mid-1100s until 1290, a vibrant Jewish community lived here, later expelled from England. Forgotten for centuries, their legacy and the story of the Jewish community has now been brought to light. Hear about two remarkable Jewish families led by female moneylenders and explore their lives in the medieval city. The walk includes Winchester Cathedral, the Great Hall and Licoricia’s statue in Jewry Street.
