Sir Moses Montefiore Synagogue, Holme Hill, Heneage Road, Grimsby - North East Lincolnshire (UA)
Synagogue 1885-8. C19 entrance arch adjoining to right; ark extension to east end and secondary synagogue and schoolroom addition to rear (now meeting hall). The only Victorian synagogue in Lincolnshire and South Humberside, one of few of this period in the country to survive so intact. Together with its accompanying bath-house (qv) this synagogue reflects the former significance of Grimsby's Jewish community and the town's prominence in the movement of Jews from Eastern Europe to Britain and America. Suffering water ingress, vegetation growth and structural movement requiring investigation.
