Anglican church built by Christopher Wren, 1671.
The name comes from the fact that this was the Jewish quarter of London until the Expulsion of the Jews" by Edward I in 1290, under which all Jews were deported, converted or murdered in an astonishingly vicious act of racism. This was really just an excuse for the Crown to confiscate property and money.
