Jewbury Medieval Jewish Cemetery is a scheduled ancient monument located in York, Yorkshire, representing one of the few surviving physical remains of medieval Jewish settlement in England. The cemetery dates from the medieval period, when York was home to a significant Jewish community, and contains evidence of burials from this era. The site is archaeologically important as it provides tangible remains of Jewish religious practice and community life in medieval England, a period before the expulsion of Jews from the realm in 1290. The cemetery's survival and designation reflect its value as a rare testament to the medieval Anglo-Jewish experience and urban Jewish life in the north of England.
