Remains of medieval synagogue uncovered under Northampton kebab shop

Archaeologists have discovered what they believe to be the remains of a medieval Jewish synagogue underneath a town centre take-away.

A survey of land underneath Kebabish and The Bear public House, both in Sheep Street, Northampton, has found what experts estimate could be the remains of an ancient synagogue, dating back hundreds of years.

The finds, which include brick walls and what appears to be a staircase, were confirmed using a state-of-the-art ground-penetrating radar.
