The Jesmond Synagogue is a former synagogue in the Jesmond neighbourhood of Newcastle upon Tyne, in northeast England. It was originally conceived as a branch of the Leazes Park Synagogue for families who had moved out of the city centre, but eventually founded in 1914 as an independent congregation.[1]

The synagogue, on Eskdale Terrace in Jesmond, was built in 1914–15 by Marcus Kenneth Glass in an Art Deco interpretation of Byzantine Revival style.

The porch has a triple arcade and columns with lotus bud capitals. A large, sunburst, stained-glass window fills the huge Byzantine arch of the facade. The brickwork is coursed with alternating beige and red stripes.[2]

The synagogue was closed in 1986.[3] The exterior has been carefully conserved; the interior was gutted and renovated for use as a school.[4] It formed part of the Newcastle High School for Girls until 2016, when approval was granted for its conversion into flats.[5][6]
