Cheltenham Synagogue, Grade II* listed Orthodox synagogue in Cheltenham, England

The Synagogue building displays Regency style architecture with Doric pilasters, a pediment, and a coffered saucer dome with a central lantern.

The cornerstone was laid in 1837, serving the Jewish population of Cheltenham during its period as a prosperous spa town in the nineteenth century.

The synagogue maintains traditional Ashkenazi services and connects the Jewish population of Cheltenham and Gloucestershire through regular gatherings and educational programs.

Located on Synagogue Lane in St James's Square, the building remains active with regular services and welcomes visitors interested in its heritage.

The Georgian Torah ark and bimah, dating from 1761, represent the oldest Ashkenazi furnishings currently existing in Great Britain.
