Description
The consecration stone was laid in 1874 and it is now a Grade II listed building. The architects, W & G Audsley were specialists in synagogue designs and aimed for an Eastern perspective. The rose windows at either end of the synagogue are Romanesque and the domes and cupolas above the Ark are Byzantine. However, the external brickwork of the towers and windows are of Moorish design and the horseshoe-shaped internal arches are reminiscent of Spanish medieval architecture.
