About Exeter

Exeter is a cathedral city in Devon, England with a population of 124,328 (mid-2014 est.). It lies within the ceremonial county of Devon, of which it is the county town as well as the home of Devon County Council. Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain, although there is evidence a Cornish tribe existed in Exeter before the Roman invasion. Exeter became a religious centre during the Middle Ages and into the Tudor times. Exeter became an affluent centre for the wool trade, although by the First World War the city was in decline. After the Second World War, much of the city centre was rebuilt and is now considered to be a centre for modern business and tourism in Devon and Cornwall. Exeter has mild wet winters and warm changeable summers with hot and cooler rainy spells. Temperatures do not vary much throughout the year.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Exeter

The Exeter Jewish community dates back to the mid-eighteenth century. The Synagogue of the Exeter Hebrew Congregation, the only Jewish congregation known to have existed in the city, is the third oldest extant synagogue in the United Kingdom. The first Jewish population was of Ashkanazic origin and made there money in trading and trades such as clock-making. By 1845 there was a community of 30 families. Today services are occasionally held in the synagogue, kosher food has to be brought in from outside although supermarkets will carry food that is approved by both the London Beth Din and the Sephardic Beth Din.
