Jew's House

[1] It is situated on Steep Hill in Lincoln, immediately below Jew's Court.Antisemitic hysteria was stoked by a notorious 1255 blood libel alleging that the mysterious death of a Christian child, known as Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, was the result of him allegedly being kidnapped and ritually killed by Jews.The Jew's House is built in the local limestone in the Norman or Romanesque style.Part of the original façade survives; the elaborately carved doorway, the remains of two Romanesque double-arch windows and much of the stonework on the upper storey.A chimney breast rises over the arch above the front door, serving the fireplace on the upper floor.
