Medieval Period:

The Jews Garden:  In 1177, Jews were allowed to purchase land outside London. The first purchase in Oxford was land for a cemetery known as "The Jews Garden".

A new Jewish cemetery to the east of the town centre, outside the East Gate, on the west bank of the River Cherwell, was in use from 1231 until 1290.  It is now part of Magdalene College and was transferred to the opposite side of the road, now the Botanical Gardens.

Modern Period:
