Sir Solomon Pereira de Medina

The beginnings of the history of the Jews in England outside London are to be traced to the first half of the eighteenth century, or perhaps, more precisely, its second quarter. Even earlier than this, scattered indications may be found, but they are of visitors rather than residents. In 1686, for example, a Jewish wayfarer (who carried his phylacteries, but was careless about ritual food) was murdered at Borton, in Kent (Bibl. BI. 32), but he was doubtless a foreigner on his way to London. Similarly, there were occasional Jewish visitors, such as the Abendana brothers, at the two University Cities. From London, moreover, the Jews of the wealthier sort pushed out into the surrounding countryside for their summer residences, even before the seventeenth century was over.

The Da Costa family established themselves at Totteridge,

the Mendes da Costas at Highgate, and

Sir Solomon de Medina at Richmond (where he was visited by William III); while

Moses Hart, on winning the lottery in 1720, purchased himself a house at Isleworth, in which district he was joined by his kinsmen of the Franks family and others.

Probably, these early English Jews held services in their houses from time to time, but their centre was London. The same was the case with the Ashkenazi servitors of the Sephardi magnates--for example,

Samuel Levy of Epsom, the servant of the Rodrigues, and

Leizer Epsom, Cook, who probably belonged to the same household; these two are mentioned about 1718 in the earliest account-book of the Great Synagogue, and were possibly among those responsible for the curious regulation that servants would not be admitted to the synagogue wearing their "Livery-malbushim."
