velho sephardic cemetery, mile end, london

velho sephardic cemetery, mile end, london
this is the oldest remaining jewish ground in britain, dating from 1657, and being full by 1737. these jews were mostly merchants and refugees from the inquisition in spain and portugal, and it was oliver cromwell who gave the community the freedom to live here and trade legally. access is difficult.
