Falmouth Synagogue

The Falmouth Synagogue was a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 1 Gyllyng Street in Falmouth, Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. Established in 1766, the congregation worshiped in the Ashkenazi rite. The synagogue building was completed in 1806 and in use until its

closure in 1879 and eventual sale in 1881. The former synagogue building overlooked the harbour and was listed as a Grade II building on 30 September 1975; its history is commemorated by a plaque. A Jewish cemetery (next to the Congregationalist Cemetery, Ponsharden) also remains, and is a scheduled monument.
