  •  Dover Jewish Cemetery, Kent, 1. England, UK


    Notes:
    Extract from JTrails with the kind permission of, and copyright to Marcus Roberts:

    The Dover Jewish cemetery was established after 1864 and by 1868 on land provided by the Dover Harbour Board. Early maps show that it was built on what would have been low value land, on or next to old clay pits, between St Mary's and St James's Cemetery to the immediate south-west and north-east.

    The burial enclosure is rectangular. The front half of the enclosure is without burials - in fact the remains of the foundations of the rectangular ohel and a circular carriage drive occupy much of this area. The ohel was originally built in 1870. On the wall or rested next to the wall to the right of the gate are a variety of plaques and inscriptions either preserved from the destroyed synagogue or relating to the cemetery.
