Located at 3 Queens Hill Crescent, in a converted former Ashkenazi Orthodox Jewish synagogue. The first record of a Jewish community in Newport was in the 19th century. At the start of the 20th century, Kelly's Directory of 1901 recorded that Newport's Jewish Synagogue was in Francis Street (in the Pill area). The synagogue moved here to Queens Hill Crescent in 1922 where a Hebrew School was also established. In the 1980s the synagogue moved to St Marks Crescent.
