Jew's House, Norman stone house in Lincoln, England
The limestone Jew's House features ornate stone carvings, rectangular windows, and decorative columns that extend across its facade on Steep Hill street.
Built in 1170, this residence stands as one of the earliest surviving townhouses in England, representing domestic architecture from the Norman period.
The structure demonstrates the presence of medieval Jewish communities in Lincoln before their expulsion from England in 1290 by King Edward I.
The building opens its ground floor to visitors as a restaurant while maintaining its original external Norman architectural features throughout the centuries.
The stone chimney of the Jew's House ranks among the earliest examples of this architectural element in residential buildings across England.
