Jewry Wall is a scheduled ancient monument in Leicester comprising substantial remains of a Roman bath house and palaestra, together with the foundations and lower courses of an Anglo-Saxon church built subsequently on the site. The Roman structures date to the second century AD and represent part of the public amenities of the Romano-British settlement. The standing wall, which gives the monument its name, rises to approximately thirty feet and is one of the most impressive surviving Roman masonry structures in Britain, demonstrating the scale and durability of Roman construction techniques. The Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical phase represents a later phase of occupation and religious use of this prominent urban location.
