The walls enclosing the Jews' Burial Ground in Ipswich are designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons: * The enclosed burial ground was acquired by the Jewish community of Ipswich in 1796, and the last burial was in 1850 * The walls were built c1764 and survive essentially intact * The burial ground serves as an important reminder of the existence of a Jewish Community in Ipswich, which had been extinguished by the end of the C19 * There is special historic interest in the continuous settlement in England of this oldest non-Christian minority group and the tolerance afforded it by the local population.
