City of Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne, with a population of about 260,000 is the principal city of the North East of England, lying on the north bank of the river Tyne a few miles inland from the North Sea coast.  The present boundaries date from 1974, when the metropolitan borough of Newcastle upon Tyne was formed, within the then new metropolitan county of Tyne and Wear.  Newcastle became a unitary authority in 1986 when Tyne and Wear lost its administrative status, becoming purely a ceremonial county.  Until 1974, Newcastle was a county borough and part of the county of Northumberland.

The Newcastle upon Tyne Jewish Community

There was a small medieval Jewish community in Newcastle.

There is a tradition that the modern community dates from 1775, although the first recorded evidence of Jews in the city is 1830, when seven Jews entered into an agreement to form the nucleus of a fund for the purchase of a plot for a cemetery and to defray the cost of a wall to enclose it and other expenses. The earliest recorded services were for Rosh Hashana 1831 (corresponding with the Coronation day of King William IV) and the first congregation was formally instituted in 1832, with the first synagogue being established in 1837.

Jewish Congregations

The first cemetery of the Newcastle Jewish community, consisting of 250 square yards located near the Temple Street Synagogue, purchased for £62.10s in about 1835 and in use until 1851.

The cemetery also includes the Ravensworth section and sections for the Gateshead Jewish Community (see cemetery plan). The cemetery is still in use. (The cemetery is situated in the part of Hazelrigg to the east of the AI and is thus actually within the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside and not Newcastle upon Tyne.).
