About this listen

 The history of the Jewish community in Medieval England is complex and fascinating, but it hasn’t received as much attention as it deserves when it comes to our understanding of the Tower of London. In this bonus episode as part of our mini-series, curator Charles Farris is joined by Dr Rory MacLellan and Professor Miri Rubin to discuss how the Jewish community interacted with the Crown and the Tower of London during the Middle Ages. This episode is a re-release of the episode on the same topic from 2023, to add context to our reopening of the Medieval Palace. Read more about the Jewish community and the Tower of London.
