Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 12 Jun 2021
A synagogue with attached vestibule and rabbi's house, built in 1870 to a design by Thomas Naden of Birmingham. The style is Romanesque (the round-arched medieval style often known as 'Norman' in England). The building is in the Spon End district of Coventry, just to the west of the city centre. The small Jewish community of the city struggled to maintain the synagogue and it closed in 2003. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1393332 https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/buildings-at-risk/coventry-synagogue.html
