Jewish Cemetery. The remains of Sephardic Jews from the Novo cemetery, in were re-interred following development at Mile End near the country manor of Dytchleys. Spanish and Portuguese Jews had fled from the persecutions and in 1650 they founded Shaar HaShamayim in the City of London in 1650. It was the first modern professing Jewish community in the British Isles and is the origin of the present Jewish community of Britain as a whole.
