Exeter Synagogue, Grade II* listed synagogue in Mary Arches Street, Exeter, England.
Exeter Synagogue is a three-story brick building with a women's gallery and traditional Orthodox features throughout its design. Inside, the space follows a classic layout with the Torah ark positioned prominently and separate seating areas for men and women.
The building was founded in 1763 during a period of growth for England's Jewish community. It remains one of the three oldest active Jewish places of worship in the United Kingdom.
The building serves the local Jewish community and welcomes visitors who want to learn about Jewish customs and observances. It functions as a gathering place where different expressions of the faith come together in daily practice.
The building sits on Mary Arches Street in central Exeter and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should contact ahead since regular services take place and access may vary depending on Jewish holidays and observance days.
The Torah ark was crafted by north German artisans with remarkable detail and designed to resemble marble. The inscriptions come from the Book of Psalms and reflect the skilled craftsmanship of that era.
