The Cheltenham Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Synagogue Lane in St James's Square of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation was formed in 1820 and worships in the Ashkenazi rite.[1]
The synagogue building was completed in 1839, designed by William Hill Knight in the Regency style. Assessed in 1951 as one of the architecturally "best" non-Anglican ecclesiastical buildings in Britain,[3] the synagogue was listed as a Grade II* building in 1972 as "an outstanding example of a small provincial English synagogue".[2]
