Plymouth Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Plymouth, England
The rectangular whitewashed brick building contains an ornate Baroque Torah Ark that extends from floor to ceiling, with Corinthian columns and gilded decorations.
Built between 1762 and 1764, the initial land lease required a Christian intermediary, Samuel Champion, due to legal restrictions on Jewish property ownership.
The building incorporates traditional Ashkenazi architectural elements while featuring Victorian-era modifications, including Minton terracotta tiles and stained glass windows.
Services occur every Friday at 6 PM and Saturday at 10 AM, with visitors required to contact the Synagogue Custodian before attending.
The original Netherlands or German-crafted Torah Ark was dismantled, transported, and reconstructed inside the synagogue building during construction.
