This is the oldest Ashkenazi Synagogue in the English speaking world, built on the site of a spring used for ritual washing. It was dedicated in 1762 and is in regular use to this day. The interior is striking, with beautiful windows, a gallery and lighting from a huge Victorian brass chandelier. Against the eastern wall is the only full-blooded Baroque Ark surviving in the country, complete with shadow painting of the Hebrew characters.

There is now only a small but dedicated congregation worshipping at this orthodox synagogue, but regular tours are open to the general public.
