Ancient British Synagogue Begins Restoration
Restoration of one of Britain's oldest synagogues will
begin in March.
The roof of Exeter Synagogue, which celebrates its 250th
anniversary this year, will be replaced in the project.
The work will cost about £118,000 and will include
repairing one of the walls which has suffered from damp, said a synagogue
spokeswoman.
She said that the money would come from fundraising and
from a bequest and the work was expected to be completed by the end of June.
"It's a community that's grown over the years and we
have members in Devon, Somerset and west Dorset," she said.
"It [the building] has deteriorated with age."
Exeter Synagogue plans to officially celebrate its 250th
anniversary in July.
